Acts 13:2-12

2While theyG846 were worshipingG3008 theG3588 LordG2962 andG2532 fastingG3522, theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 saidG2036, “Set apartG873 for MeG1473 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 forG1519 theG3588 workG2041 to whichG3739 I have calledG4341 themG846.” 3AndG5119 after they had fastedG3522 andG2532 prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 on themG846 and sent them offG630.

4SoG3767G3303 Barnabas and Saul, sent forthG1599 byG5259 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151, went downG2718 toG1519 SeleuciaG4581 andG5037 sailedG636 from thereG1564 toG1519 CyprusG2954. 5When they arrivedG1096 atG1722 SalamisG4529, they proclaimedG2605 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 inG1722 theG3588 JewishG3588G2453 synagoguesG4864. AndG1161 JohnG2491 was with themG2192 as their helperG5257.

They traveled throughG1330 theG3588 wholeG3650 islandG3520 as far asG891 PaphosG3974, where they foundG2147 aG5100 JewishG435G2453 sorcererG3097 and false prophetG5578 namedG3739G3686 Bar-JesusG919, 7an attendantG1510G4862 of theG3588 proconsulG446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972. The proconsul, a manG435 of intelligenceG4908, summonedG4341 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 because he wantedG1934 to hearG191 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316. 8ButG1161 ElymasG1681 theG3588 sorcererG3097 (forG1063 that is whatG3779 hisG846 nameG3686 meansG3177) opposedG436 themG846 and triedG2212 to turnG1294 theG3588 proconsulG446 fromG575 theG3588 faithG4102.

9ThenG1161 SaulG4569, whoG3588 was alsoG2532 called PaulG3972, filled withG4130 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, looked directlyG816 atG1519 ElymasG846 10and saidG2036, “OG5599 childG5207 of the devilG1228 and enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, you are fullG4134 of all kindsG3956 of deceitG1388 andG2532 trickeryG4468! Will you never stopG3756G3973 pervertingG1294 theG3588 straightG2117 waysG3598 of theG3588 LordG2962? 11NowG2532G3568 lookG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 youG4771, andG2532 forG891 a timeG2540 you will beG1510 blindG5185 and unable to seeG3361G991 theG3588 light of the sunG2246.” ImmediatelyG3916 mistG887 andG2532 darknessG4655 cameG4098 overG1909 himG846, andG2532 he groped aboutG4013, seekingG2212 someone to lead him by the handG5497.

12When theG3588 proconsulG446 sawG3708 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, he believedG4100, for he was astonishedG1605 atG1909 theG3588 teachingG1322 about theG3588 LordG2962.
