The Scriptures 1998

Acts 13:3-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. Then having fasted and prayed, and having laid hands on them, they sent them away.

4. So they, having been sent out by the Set-apart Spirit, went down to Seleukeia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

5. And having come into Salamis, they proclaimed the word of Elohim in the congregations of the Yehuḏim. And they also had Yoḥanan as an attendant.

6. And having passed through all the island to Paphos, they found a certain magician, a false prophet, a Yehuḏite whose name was Bar-Yehoshua,

7. who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man, having called for Barnaḇah and Sha’ul, earnestly sought to hear the word of Elohim.

8. But Elumas the magician – for so his name is translated – withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the belief.

9. Then Sha’ul, filled with the Set-apart Spirit, looked intently at him,

10. and said, “O son of the devil, filled with all deceit and all recklessness, you enemy of all righteousness, shall you not cease perverting the straight ways of יהוה?

11. “And now, see, the hand of יהוה is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And instantly a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

12. And having seen what took place, the proconsul believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Master.

13. And having put out from Paphos, Sha’ul and those with him came to Perge in Pamphulia. And Yoḥanan, having left them, returned to Yerushalayim.

14. But passing through from Perge, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the congregation on the Sabbath day and sat down.
