Whichwaswith the deputy of the country,SergiusPaulus, a prudentman;whocalled for BarnabasandSaul, and desired to hear the word of God.

And said, Ofull of allsubtiltyandallmischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of allrighteousness, wilt thounotcease to pervert the rightways of the Lord?

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonishedat the doctrine of the Lord.
