Acts 13:4–12

⁴They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus. ⁵And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as their attendant. ⁶And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus, ⁷who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to him, desired to hear the word of God. ⁸But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. ⁹But Saul, who also is Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him, ¹⁰said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of the Lord? ¹¹And now behold, the Lord’s hand is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand. ¹²Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
