Acts 13:7-22

7who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of 1God.

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.

13And having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and returned to Jerusalem.

14But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down.

15And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.

16And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear 2God, hearken.

17The 3God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,

18and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.

19And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

20And after these things he gave [them] judges till Samuel the prophet, [to the end of] about four hundred and fifty years.

21And then they asked for a king, and 4God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

22And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
