Acts 13:2-12

2While they were ministeringG3008 to the LordG2962 and fastingG3522, 1the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 saidG3004, “SetG873 apartG873 for Me 2BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 for 3the workG2041 to whichG3739 I have calledG4341 them.” 3ThenG5119, when they had fastedG3522 and 4prayedG4336 and 5laidG2007 their handsG5495 on them, 6they sentG630 them awayG630.

4SoG3767, being 7sentG1599 out by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, they wentG2718 downG2718 to SeleuciaG4581 and from thereG1564 they sailedG636 to 8CyprusG2954. 5When they reachedG1096 SalamisG4529, they began to proclaimG2605 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 in 9the synagoguesG4864 of the JewsG2453; and they alsoG2532 hadG2192 10JohnG2491 as their helperG5257. 6When they had goneG1330 throughG1330 the wholeG3650 islandG3520 as farG891 as PaphosG3974, they foundG2147 a 11magicianG3097, a JewishG2453 12falseG5578 prophetG5578 whoseG3739 nameG3686 was Bar-JesusG919, 7whoG3739 was with the 13proconsulG446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972, a manG435 of intelligenceG4908. ThisG3778 manG3778 summonedG4341 BarnabasG921 and SaulG4569 and soughtG1934 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316. 8But ElymasG1681 the 14magicianG3097 (for soG3779 his nameG3686 is translatedG3177) was opposingG436 them, seekingG2212 to turnG1294 the 15proconsulG446 awayG1294 from 16the faithG4102. 9But SaulG4569, whoG3588 was alsoG2532 known as PaulG3972, 1718filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, fixedG816 his gazeG816 on him, 10and saidG3004, “You who are fullG4134 of allG3956 deceitG1388 and fraudG4468, you 19sonG5207 of the devilG1228, you enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, will you not ceaseG3973 to makeG1294 crookedG1294 20the straightG2117 waysG3598 of the LordG2962? 11NowG3568, beholdG2400, 21the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is upon you, and you will be blindG5185 and not seeG991 the sunG2246 for a timeG2540.” And immediatelyG3916 a mistG887 and a darknessG4655 fellG4098 upon him, and he wentG4013 aboutG4013 seekingG2212 those whoG5497 would leadG5497 him by the handG5497. 12ThenG5119 the 22proconsulG446 believedG4100 when he sawG3708 what had happenedG1096, being amazedG1605 at 23the teachingG1322 of the LordG2962.
