4So they, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.5When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John as their servant.6They passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a certain man, a Jewish sage and false prophet named Bar-Jesus.7He was with the proconsul Sergius Paul, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.8But Elymas the sage opposed them, for that is what his name means, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.9Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him.10He said, "You who are full of all deceit and all trickery, you son of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?"11And now, behold, the 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 people to lead him by the hand.12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
