Acts 13:1-12 — Barnabas and Saul Sent Off; On Cyprus
Acts.13.1-12
1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger , Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3Then, after fasting and praying and laying their hands on them, they sent them off. 4So they, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5And when they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as an assistant. 6Having gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet, whose name was Bar-Jesus. 7He was with the proconsul , Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is how his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him 10and said, "You who are full of all deceit and all trickery, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and going around, he was seeking people to lead him by the hand. 12Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
