Sergius Paulus

Sergius Paulus [N] [E]

was the proconsul of Cyprus when the apostle Paul visited that island with Barnabas on his first missionary tour. ( Acts 13:7 ) seq. (A.D. 44.) He is described as an intelligent man, truth-seeking, eager for information from all sources within his reach. Though at first admitting to his society Elymas the magician, he afterward, on becoming acquainted with the claims of the gospel, yielded his mind to the evidence of its truth.
