2and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, `Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,`
3then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.
4These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus,
5and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John [as] a ministrant;
6and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;
7who 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,
8and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
