Deeds (Act) of Apostles 13:1-8

¹And prophets and doctors (or teachers of the Law) 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 (or who was the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch), that is, (the) prince of the fourth part, and Saul were.

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

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

⁴But they were sent of the Holy Ghost (or And they were sent by the Holy Spirit), 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 (the) 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, (who was also called Elymas),

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

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