Deeds (Act) of Apostles 13:4-16

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.

⁹But Saul, which is said also Paul, was filled with the Holy Ghost, and beheld into him,

¹⁰and said, A! thou full of all guile, and all falseness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all rightwise-ness, thou leavest not to turn upside-down, or to subvert, or to destroy, the rightful ways of the Lord.

¹¹And now lo! the hand of the Lord is on thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not seeing the sun into a time. And anon, a mist and darkness felled down on him; and he went about, and sought him that should give the hand to him.

¹²Then the proconsul, when he had seen the deed, believed, wondering on the teaching of the Lord.

¹³And when from Paphos Paul had gone by boat, and they that were with him, they came to Perga of Pamphylia; but John departed from them, and turned again to Jerusalem.

¹⁴And they went from Perga, and came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they entered into the synagogue in the day of sabbaths, and sat.

¹⁵And after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the princes of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Brethren, if any word of exhortation to the people is in you, say ye.

¹⁶And Paul rose, and with hand bade silence, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that dread God, hear ye.
