Acts 13:5-13

5When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in 1the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had 2John as their helper. 6When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a 3magician, a Jewish 4false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7who was with the 5proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the 6magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the 7proconsul away from 8the faith. 9But Saul, who was also known as Paul, 910filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him, 10and said, “11You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you 12son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked 13the straight ways of the Lord? 11Now, behold, 14the 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 15proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at 16the teaching of the Lord.

13Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from 17Paphos and came to 18Perga in 19Pamphylia; but 20John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
