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

4 Then they indeed, having been sent away by the Holy Ghost, came down to Seleucia; and thence sailed away to Cyprus. 5 And being in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they also had John as their helper. 6 And having gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet, to whom was the name of Bar-Jesus: 7 who was with Sergius Paulus, the proconsul, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God; 8 but Elymas the magician (for thus his name is interpreted) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 And Saul, (who is also Paul), being filled with the Holy Ghost, fixing his eyes on him, 10 said, O thou full of all guile and rascality, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of God? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he was seeking people to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the deputy, seeing that which took place, believed; being delighted with the teaching of the Lord.
