Acts 13:5-13

5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God ¹in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had ²John to ³assist them.

6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain ⁴magician, ⁵a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.

7 He was with ⁶the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

8 But Elymas the ⁷magician (for that is the meaning of his name) ⁸opposed them, seeking to turn ⁹the proconsul away from the faith.

9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, ¹⁰filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

10 and said, "You ¹¹son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and ¹²villainy, will you not stop ¹³making crooked ¹⁴the straight paths of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, ¹⁵the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking ¹⁶people to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at ¹⁷the teaching of the Lord.
