7 He kept company with the governor of that province, an intelligent man named Sergius Paulus. The governor sent for Barnabas and Saul since he wanted to hear God’s word.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that’s what people understood his name meant) opposed them, trying to steer the governor away from the faith.
9 Empowered by the Holy Spirit, Saul, also known as Paul, glared at Bar-Jesus and

11 Listen! The Lord’s power is set against you. You will be blind for a while, unable even to see the daylight." At once, Bar-Jesus’ eyes were darkened, and he began to grope about for someone to lead him around by the hand.
12 When the governor saw what had taken place, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.
13 Paul and his companions sailed from Paphos to Perga in Pamphylia. John deserted them there and returned to Jerusalem.
