Acts 13:6-13
13:6 When they had crossed over
the whole island as far as Paphos,
they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
13:7 who was with the proconsul
Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The proconsul
summoned
Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear
the word of God.
13:8 But the magician Elymas
(for that is the way his name is translated)
opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul
away from the faith.
13:9 But Saul (also known as Paul),
filled with the Holy Spirit,
stared straight
at him
13:10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing,
you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?
13:11 Now
look, the hand of the Lord is against
you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time!” Immediately mistiness
and darkness came over
him, and he went around seeking people
to lead him by the hand.
13:12 Then when the proconsul
saw what had happened, he believed,
because he was greatly astounded
at the teaching about
the Lord.
