1 NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother, and Saul.
2 And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Then having kept a fast and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them out.
4 They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.
5 And being at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had John also as their attendant.
6 Now as they travelled through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain person who professed magic, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the magician (for such is his name when interpreted) opposed them, seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
9 Then Saul (now Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, and fixing his eyes upon him,
10 said, O thou full of all guile and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the strait ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, seeing the sun no more for a season. And instantly there fell on him a thick mist and darkness; and groping about he sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then when the proconsul saw what was done, he believed, being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Hereupon sailing from Paphos, they who were about Paul came to Perga in Pamphylia: but John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch in Pisidia, and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down.
