God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This
man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and
foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to
death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the
dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was
impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25 David said about
him: "'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right
hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also
will live in hope, 27 because you will not abandon me to the grave,

he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing
what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he
was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the
fact. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the
Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now
see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he
said, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand 35 until I
make your enemies a footstool for your feet."‘ 36 "Therefore let all
Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ."

6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they
met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was an
attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man,
sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But
Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to
turn the proconsul from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled
with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 "You are a child of the
devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit
and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now
the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you
will be unable to see the light of the sun.“ Immediately mist and darkness came
