Acts 13:6-8

New Catholic Bible

At Cyprus Facing a Proconsul and a Magician.^{[a] 6} When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos,^[b] they encountered a magician named Bar-Jesus, who was a Jewish false prophet. ⁷ He was an attendant of the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a learned man who had summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. ⁸ However, the magician Elymas (for that is the translation of his name) opposed them in an attempt to prevent the proconsul’s conversion to the faith.
