Acts 13:5-12

English Standard Version

⁵ When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God ^(A)in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had ^(B)John to ^(C)assist them. ⁶ When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain ^(D)magician, ^(E)a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus. ⁷ He was with ^(F)the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. ⁸ But Elymas the ^(G)magician (for that is the meaning of his name) ^(H)opposed them, seeking to turn ^(I)the proconsul away from the faith. ⁹ But Saul, who was also called Paul, ^(J)filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him ¹⁰ and said, “You ^(K)son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and ^(L)villainy, will you not stop ^(M)making crooked ^(N)the straight paths of the Lord? ¹¹ And now, behold, ^(O)the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking ^(P)people to lead him by the hand. ¹² Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at ^(Q)the teaching of the Lord.
