Acts 13:1-14

MNT(i) 1 Now there were in the church in Antioch prophets and teachers; Barnabas and Symeon, surnamed "the Black," Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul. 2 And as they were worshiping the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 So after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them, and let them go. 4 So they, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And while they were in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. 6 They had John Mark as an assistant; and after going through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jewish sorcerer and false prophet, named Bar-Jesus, 7 who belonged to the suite of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas, "the sorcerer," for that is the translation of his name, opposed them, and tried to divert the proconsul from the faith. 9 So Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily at him, and said: 10 "O full of all craft and cunning, you son of the devil! You enemy of all goodness! Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 "The Lord's hand is now upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season." Instantly there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and groping about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed. He was astounded at the teaching of the Lord. 13 From Paphos Paul and his party set sail for Perga in Pamphylia; but John Mark left them and went back to Jerusalem. 14 Then they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day and sat down.
