Acts 13:4-16

⁴So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship to Cyprus.

⁵And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.

⁶And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus;

⁷Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.

⁸But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.

⁹But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,

¹⁰O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?

¹¹And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

¹²Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.

¹³Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem.

¹⁴But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.

¹⁵And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on.

¹⁶And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.
