Acts 13:1-10

¹Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenaean, and Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

²And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

³Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

⁴They therefore being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, came down to Seleucia, and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

⁵And having come to Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John as an assistant.

⁶And when they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magian, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus,

⁷who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.

⁸But Elymas the magian (for so is his name interpreted) withstood them, seeking so turn away the proconsul from the faith.

⁹But Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him

¹⁰and said, O full of all deceit, and of all mischief, son of the Devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
