New Testament

Acts 13:6-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

7. He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.

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

10. and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of [the] Lord?

11. Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.

12. When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.

13. From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

14. They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.
