At Paphos Elymas the sorcerer is made blind, and the proconsul Sergius Paulus believes

바보에서 박수 엘루마가 소경이 되고 총독 서기오 바울이 믿음

Acts 13:4–12: being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they go down to Seleucia. From there they sail to Cyprus. When they are at Salamis, they proclaim God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also have John as their attendant. When they have gone through the island to Paphos, they find a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus, who is with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summons Barnabas and Saul, and seeks to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstands them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastens his eyes on Elymas and says, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fall on him. He goes around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Then the proconsul, when he sees what was done, believes, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
