Bible Verses About Paul: Contends with Elymas the sorcerer

and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name is Bar-Jesus;

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

and there withstood them Elymas the magian--for so is his name interpreted--seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

And Saul--who also is Paul--having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him,

said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

and now, lo, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead him by the hand;

then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
