He was with (C)the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. But Elymas the (D)magician (for that is the meaning of his name) (E)opposed them, seeking to turn (F)the proconsul away from the faith. But Saul, who was also called Paul, (G)filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “You (H)son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and (I)villainy, will you not stop (J)making crooked (K)the straight paths of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, (L)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 (M)people to lead him by the hand.
