*
Then these indeed sent out by the Holy Spirit went down to Seleucia ,
and from there sailed away to Cyprus .
*
And having been in Salamis ,
they announced the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews .
And they also had John as a helper .
*
And passing through the island as far as Paphos ,
they found a certain conjurer ,
a false prophet ,
a Jew named Bar-jesus .
*
He was with the proconsul ,
Sergius Paulus ,
an intelligent man .
This one having called Barnabas and Saul to him ,
he sought to hear the Word of God .
*
But Elymas ,
the conjurer (
for so his name is translated )
withstood them ,
seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith .
*
But Saul ,
who is also Paul ,
being filled with the Holy Spirit ,
and looking intently on him ,
*
he said ,
O son of the Devil ,
full of all guile and of all cunning ,
enemy of all righteousness ,
will you not stop perverting the right ways of the Lord ?
*
And now ,
behold ,
the hand of the Lord is on you ,
and you will be blind ,
not seeing the sun until a time .
And instantly a mist and darkness fell on him ,
and going about he sought some to lead him by the hand .
*
Then seeing the thing happening ,
the proconsul believed ,
being astounded at the doctrine of the Lord .
