NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There were prophets and teachers in the congregation at Antioch. This included: Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. ² As they ministered to God, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said: »Set Barnabas and Saul apart for the work I have called them.« ³ After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them away. ⁴ Being sent by Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus. ⁵ They preached the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews at Salamis. John was also there as an attendant. ⁶ They traveled the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they found Barjesus. He was a sorcerer, a false prophet and a Jew. ⁷ He was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man, who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. ⁸ But Elymas the sorcerer opposed them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. ⁹ Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him, ¹⁰ And said: »You child of the devil, full of all subtlety and mischief, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of Jehovah? ¹¹ »Look Jehovah’s hand is on you. You will be blind and not see the sun for a season.« Immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness. He went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. ¹² When he saw what was done the deputy believed. He was astonished at the teaching of God. ¹³ Paul and his company put out to sea from Paphos. They went to Perga in Pamphylia. John left them to return to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ When they left Perga, they went to Antioch in Pisidia. They went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
