Acts 12:25-Acts 13:12 - Barnabas And Saul Travel To Cyprus
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and took with them John, which was also called Mark.
1 There were at Antioch, in the congregation, certain prophets and teachers: as Barnabas and Symeon called Niger; And Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's nurse-fellow, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted; The holy ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work whereunto I have called them." 3 Then fasted they and prayed, and put their hands on them, and let them go.
4 And they, after they were sent of the holy ghost, came unto Seleucia, and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were come to Salamis, they showed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to their minister. 6 When they had gone throughout the Isle unto the city of Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer: a false prophet, which was a Jew, 7 named Barjesus: which was with the ruler of the country, one Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. The same ruler called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But the sorcerer Elymas - for so was his name by interpretation - withstood them, and sought to turn away the ruler from the faith.
9 Then Saul, which also is called Paul, being full of the holy ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, 10 "O full of all subtlety and deceitfulness, and child of the devil, and the enemy of all righteousness: thou ceasest not to pervert the straight ways of the Lord. 11 And now behold the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind and not see the sun for a season." And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; And he went about, seeking them that should lead him by the hand.
12 Then the ruler, when he saw what had happened, believed: and wondered at the doctrine of the Lord.
