Acts 13:2-12

2While they were 1serving the Lord and fasting, 2the Holy Spirit said, “Set 3Barnabas and Saul apart for Me for 4the work to which I have called them.” 3Then, when they had fasted, 5prayed, and 6laid their hands on them, 7they sent them away.

4So, being 8sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to 9Cyprus. 5When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in 10the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had 11John as their helper. 6When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a 12magician, a Jewish 13false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7who was with the 14proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the 15magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the 16proconsul away from 17the faith. 9But Saul, who was also known as Paul, 1819filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him, 10and said, “20You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you 21son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked 22the straight ways of the Lord? 11Now, behold, 23the 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 24proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at 25the teaching of the Lord.
