Barnabas and Saul on Cyprus

Acts 13

4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed unto Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John as an attendant. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain wise man, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man, who called for Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the wise man (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. 9 Then Saul (who also is Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him 10 and said, O full of all deception and all licentiousness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is against thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
