And when they wereatSalamis, they preached the word of Godin the synagogues of the Jews:and they hadalsoJohn to their minister.
6
And when they had gone through the isleuntoPaphos, they found a certainsorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew,whosename was Barjesus:
7
Whichwaswith the deputy of the country,SergiusPaulus, a prudentman;whocalled for BarnabasandSaul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8
ButElymas the sorcerer* (for so is hisname by interpretation) withstoodthem,seeking to turn away the deputyfrom the faith.
9
ThenSaul,* (who also is called Paul,) filled with the HolyGhost*, set his eyesonhim,
10
And said, Ofull of allsubtiltyandallmischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of allrighteousness, wilt thounotcease to pervert the rightways of the Lord?
11
Andnow,behold, the hand of the Lord is uponthee,and thou shalt beblind,notseeing the sunfor a season.Andimmediately there fellonhim a mistand a darkness;and he went aboutseeking some to lead him by the hand.
12
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonishedat the doctrine of the Lord.
13
Now when Paul and his companyloosedfromPaphos, they cametoPerga in Pamphylia:andJohndepartingfromthemreturnedtoJerusalem.
14
But when theydepartedfromPerga, they cametoAntioch in Pisidia,andwent into the synagogue on the sabbathday, and sat down.
15
Andafter the reading of the lawand the prophets the rulers of the synagoguesentuntothem,saying, Ye men and brethren,if ye have*anyword of exhortationfor the people, say on.
