Confronting a Magician on Cyprus
4Therefore, sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed away to Cyprus. 5And when they* came to Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John as assistant. 6And when they* had crossed over the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,7who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and* wished to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the magician (for his name is translated in this way) opposed them, attempting to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9But Saul (also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10and* said, “O you who are full of all deceit and of all unscrupulousness, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord! 11And now behold, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a while.”a And immediately mist and darkness fell over him, and he was going around looking for people* to lead him* by the hand. 12Then when* the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he* was astounded at the teaching about* the Lord.
