Acts 13:8

But [Bar-Jesus, also known as] Elymas, the sorcerer – as his name means – opposed them and tried to prevent the proconsul from coming to faith.
[Elymas comes from the Arabic word for "wise man" or the Aramaic word for "dream interpreter" – both words describe someone who can see into the future. He was involved in occult spiritism. A similar example is the sorcerer Simon in Samaria, see Acts 8:9–13, 18–24.]
