2
And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
3
Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.
4
They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
5
And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as [their] attendant.
6
And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus,
7
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. *He*, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of God.
8
But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9
But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
10
said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?
11
And now behold, [the] Lord's hand [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.
12
Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
