Deeds (Act) of Apostles 13:1-8

¹And prophets and doctors were in the church that was at Antioch, in which Barnabas, and Simon, that was called Black, and Lucius Cyreneus, and Manaen, that was the suckling-frère of Herod tetrarch, that is, prince of the fourth part, and Saul were.

²And when they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said to them, Set apart ye to me Saul and Barnabas, into the work to which I have taken them.

³Then they fasted, and prayed, and laid hands on them, and let them go.

⁴But they were sent of the Holy Ghost, and went forth to Seleucia, and from thence they went by boat to Cyprus.

⁵And when they came to Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of Jews; and they had also John in ministry or in service.

⁶And when they had walked by all the isle to Paphos, they found a man, a witch, or they found some man witch, a false prophet, a Jew, to whom the name was Barjesus,

⁷that was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This called Barnabas and Paul, and desired to hear the word of God.

⁸But Elymas the witch withstood them; for his name is expounded so; and he sought to turn away the proconsul from belief.
