* These two therefore , having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit , went down to Seleucia , and from there they sailed to Cyprus . * And arriving in Salamis , they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews . They also had John as their assistant . * And going across the island as far as Paphos , they found a certain sorcerer , a false prophet , a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus , * who was with the proconsul , Sergius Paulus , an intelligent man . This man summoned Barnabas and Saul , and sought to hear the word of God . * But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated ) resisted them , seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith . * But Saul , who also is [called ] Paul , was filled with the Holy Spirit , and gazing intently at him , * [he ]said , "O full of all guile and all craft , [you ] son of [the ] devil , [you ] enemy of all righteousness , will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord ? * And now behold , the hand of the Lord is upon you , and you shall be blind , not seeing the sun for a season ."And immediately a mistiness and darkness fell upon him , and going about , he sought someone to lead him by the hand . * Then when the proconsul saw what had happened , he believed , being amazed at the teaching of the Lord .
