Elymas opposed; Sergius Paulus believes
On Cyprus the magician Elymas opposed Barnabas and Saul before the proconsul Sergius Paulus. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Saul rebuked him and he was struck temporarily blind; the proconsul believed, astonished at the teaching about the Lord (Acts 13:6-12).

6They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
