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

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.
