4 So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.
5 When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John also as their assistant.
6 When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.

8 But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the holy Spirit, looked intently at him
