* So , being sent out by the Holy Spirit , they went down to Seleucia , and from there they sailed to Cyprus . * And when they arrived in Salamis , they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews . They also had John as their assistant . * Now when they had gone through the island to 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 called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God . * But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated ) withstood them , seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith . * Then Saul , who also is called Paul , filled with the Holy Spirit , looked intently at him * and said , "O full of all deceit and all fraud , you son of the devil , you enemy of all righteousness , will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord ? * And now , indeed , the hand of the Lord is upon you , and you shall be blind , not seeing the sun for a time ." And immediately a dark mist fell on him , and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand . * Then the proconsul believed , when he saw what had been done , being astonished at the teaching of the Lord .
