24. But the word of the Lord
grew and increased. 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned out of Jerusalem having
completed the ministration, taking with them John surnamed Mark. 13:1 Now there
were in Antioch among the existing church prophets and teachers both
Barnabas and Simeon being called Niger and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen
of Herd the tetrarch foster brother and Saul. 2 And ministering them to the
Lord and fasting said the Spirit Holy: Separate ye so then to me Barnabas
and Saul for the work which I have called them: 3 then having fasted and
having prayed and laying on their hands them they dismissed them. 4 They
therefore sent out by the Holy spirit went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to
Cyporus. 5 and being in Salamis
they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had
also John as

attendant. 6 And passing
through all the island unto Paphos they found a certain man a sorcerer a
false prophet Jewish, to whom name Barjetous, 7 who was with the proconsul
Sergius Paulus, man an intelligent. This man calling to him Barnabas and
Saul sought to hear the word of God: 8 but opposed them Elymas the
sorcerer, for so is translated the name of him, seeking to divert the
proconsul from the faith. 9 But Saul the one also Paul, filled of
with Spirit Holy gazing at him said: 10 O full of all deceit and of all
fraud, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not
cease perverting the ways of the Lord right? 11 And now behold the hand of
the Lord is on thee, and thou wilt be blind not seeing the sun until such a
time. And at once fell on him a mist and darkness, and going about he
sought leaders by the hand. 12 Then seeing the proconsul the thing having
occurred believed, being astounded at the teaching of the Lord.
