Acts 13:1–15

^*Now there were in the church that was at ^aAntioch certain ^bprophets and ^cteachers; as ^dBarnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and ^eLucius of ^fCyrene, and Manaen, ^||gwhich had been brought up with ^hHerod the tetrarch, and ⁱSaul. ²As they ^kministered to the Lord, and ^lfasted, the Holy Ghost said, ^mSeparate me Barnabas and Saul for the work ⁿwhereunto I have called them. ³And when they had ^lfasted and ^oprayed, and ^olaid their hands on them, ^pthey sent them away. ⁴So they, being sent forth ^qby the Holy Ghost, departed unto ^rSeleucia; and from thence they sailed to ^sCyprus. ⁵And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God ^tin the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also ^uJohn to their minister. ⁶And when they had gone through the isle unto ^xPaphos, they found ^ya certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: ⁷Which was with the ^zdeputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a ^aprudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. ⁸But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) ^bwithstood them, seeking to ^gturn away the deputy from the faith. ⁹Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) ^cfilled with the Holy Ghost, ^dset his eyes on him, ¹⁰And said, O full of all subtilty and all ^emischief, ^fthou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to ^gpervert the ^hright ways of the Lord? ¹¹And now, behold, ⁱthe hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun ^kfor a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking ^lsome to lead him by the hand. ¹²Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being ^mastonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

¹³Now when ⁿPaul and his company loosed from ^oPaphos, they came to ^pPerga in ^qPamphylia: and ^rJohn ^sdeparting from them returned ^tto Jerusalem. ¹⁴But when they departed from ^pPerga, they came to ^uAntioch in ^xPisidia, and went ^yinto the synagogue ^yzon the sabbath day, and sat down. ¹⁵And after the reading of ^athe law and ^bthe prophets ^cthe rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any ^dword of ^deexhortation for the people, say on.
