Acts 13:4-12
4So, being 1sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to 2Cyprus. 5When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in 3the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had 4John as their helper. 6When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a 5magician, a Jewish 6false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7who was with the 7proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the 8magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the 9proconsul away from 10the faith. 9But Saul, who was also known as Paul, 1112filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him, 10and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you 13son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked 14the straight ways of the Lord? 11Now, behold, 15the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time.” And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand. 12Then the 16proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at 17the teaching of the Lord.
