Acts 13:4-12 - Confronting A Magician On Cyprus

⁴ They, therefore, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down unto Seleucia, and, from thence, sailed away unto Cyprus; ⁵ And, coming to be in Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; - and they had, John also, as an attendant. ⁶ And, passing through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false-prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus; ⁷ Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The same, calling for Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God. ⁸ But Elymas the magician, - for so, when translated, is his name, - withstood them; seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

⁹ But Saul, who is also Paul, filled with Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly at him, ¹⁰ Said - O full of all guile, and all recklessness! Son of an adversary! Enemy of all righteousness! - Wilt thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord? ¹¹ Now, therefore, lo! the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun, until a fitting time. And, instantly, there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and, going about, he was seeking such as might lead him by the hand.

¹² Then, the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
