Footsteps of Paul: Barjesus

So they,
being sent forth by the Holy Ghost,
departed unto Seleucia;
and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
And when they were at Salamis,
they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews:
and they had also John to their minister.

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos,
they found a certain sorcerer,
a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
Which was with the deputy of the country,
Sergius Paulus, a prudent man;
who called for Barnabas and Saul,
and desired to hear the word of God.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation ) withstood them,
seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,)
filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
         And said,

O full of all subtilty and all mischief, 
thou child of the devil,
thou enemy of all righteousness,
wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee,
and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season.

And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness;
and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done,
believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Acts 13:4-12
"Not without a struggle does Satan allow the kingdom of God to be built up in the earth. The forces of evil are engaged in unceasing warfare against the agencies appointed for the spread of the gospel, and these powers of darkness are especially active when the truth is proclaimed before men of repute and sterling integrity." Acts of the Apostles p.167 E.G.W.
