PAUL, Contends with Elymas (Bar-Jesus) the sorcerer

Acts 13:6-12

6. When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,
7. who was with the proconsul, Sergius PAULus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
9. But Saul, who is also called PAUL, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
10. and said, "Full of all deceit and all cunning, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11. Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!"Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12. Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
