4 Being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Arriving in Salamis, they proclaimed God’s message in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their assistant.
6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came across a sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.
7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear God’s message.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (this is the meaning of his name) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Then Saul — also called Paul — filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at the sorcerer
10 and said, “You son of the Devil, full of all deceit and all fraud, enemy of all righteousness! Won’t you ever stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?
