There were now in Antioch, in what is [the] church, prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon who is being called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — with Herod the tetrarch brought up — and Saul.

As were ministering now they to the Lord and fasting, said the Spirit Holy, do set apart then to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

Then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] off.

They indeed therefore having been sent forth by of the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia. From there then they sailed to Cyprus.

And having come into Salamis, they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They had now also John [as] a helper.

Having passed through now all the island, as far as Paphos, they found a man — a certain magician, a false prophet Jewish — whose name of Bar-Jesus,

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, man an intelligent. He having called to [him] Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.

Was opposing however to them Elymas the magician — thus for means the name of him — seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

Saul then, also [called] Paul, having been filled [the] Spirit Holy, having looked intently upon him,

said, O full of all deceit and all craft, son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness, not will you cease perverting the ways of the Lord, upright?

And now behold, [the] hand of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun during a season. Immediately then fell upon him mist and darkness, and going about he was seeking someone to lead [him] by the hand.

Then having seen the proconsul that having happened, he believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Having sailed then from Paphos [with] those around [him], Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. John however having departed from them, returned to Jerusalem.

They now, having passed through from Perga, came to Antioch Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down.

After then the reading of the law and of the Prophets, sent the rulers of the synagogue to them, saying, Men, brothers, if any there is among you a word of exhortation toward the people, do speak.

Having risen up then Paul, and having made a sign with the hand, he said, Men, Israelites, and you who [are] fearing God, do listen.

The God of the people this of Israel chose the fathers of us, and the people exalted in the sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with arm uplifted, brought them out of it,

and of about forty years for a period He endured the ways their in the wilderness,

and having destroyed nations seven in [the] land of Canaan, He gave as an inheritance the land of them —

during years four hundred and fifty. And after these things, He gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.

Then they asked for a king, and gave to them God, Saul son of Kish, a man of [the] tribe of Benjamin, years forty.

And having removed him, He raised up David to them as king, to whom also He said, having carried witness: I have found David the [son of] Jesse a man according to the heart of Me, who will do all the will of Me.
