Acts 13:7-22

7who was with the 1proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the 2magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the 3proconsul away from 4the faith. 9But Saul, who was also known as Paul, 56filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him, 10and said, “7You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you 8son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked 9the straight ways of the Lord? 11Now, behold, 10the 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 11proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being amazed at 12the teaching of the Lord.

13Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from 13Paphos and came to 14Perga in 15Pamphylia; but 16John left them and returned to Jerusalem. 14But going on from Perga, they arrived at 17Pisidian 18Antioch, and on 19the Sabbath day they went into 20the synagogue and sat down. 15After 21the reading of the Law and 22the Prophets, 23the synagogue officials sent word to them, saying, “24Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.” 16Paul stood up, and 25motioning with his hand said,

“Men of Israel, and 26you who fear God, listen: 17The God of this people Israel 27chose our fathers and 2829made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm 30He led them out from it. 18For 31a period of about forty years 32He put up with them in the wilderness. 1933When He had destroyed 34seven nations in the land of Canaan, He 35distributed their land as an inheritance--all of which took 36about 450 years. 20After these things He 37gave them judges until 38Samuel the prophet. 21Then they 39asked for a king, and God gave them 40Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22After He had 41removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘42I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My 43will.’
