'Proconsul' in the Bible

who was a friend of the Proconsul Sergius Paulus. The Proconsul was a man of keen intelligence. He sent for Barnabas and Saul, and asked to be told God's Message.

Then the Proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being struck with amazement at the teaching of the Lord.

But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
