4 Therefore when they were sent forth by the holy Ghost, they went to Seleucia, and thence they sailed into Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis they preached the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also for their minister. 6 And when they had passed over the Island unto Paphos, they found a certain false Prophet a Jew, named Ba•-jesus. 7 Who was with Sergius Paulus the Proconsul, a wise man. When he had called Barnabas and Paul he sought to hear the word of God. 8 And Elimas the Sorcerer, for so is his name expounded, resisted them, seeking to turn away the Proconsul from the faith. 9 And Saul which was also called Paul, being full of the Ghost and looking steadfastly on him, 10 Said, O thou that art full of all deceit and wickedness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, doest thou not cease 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, not seeing the sun for a time: and forthwith there fell upon him mist and darkness and going about he sought some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the Proconsul seeing what had happened, he believed, wondering at the doctrine of the Lord.
