Acts 13:8 in Context — Acts 13
6 Ayant ensuite traversé toute l’île jusqu’à Paphos, ils trouvèrent un certain magicien, faux prophète juif, nommé Bar-Jésus,
7 qui était avec le proconsul Sergius Paulus, homme intelligent. Ce dernier fit appeler Barnabas et Saul, et manifesta le désir d’entendre la parole de Dieu.
8 Mais Élymas, le magicien, car c’est ce que signifie son nom, leur faisait opposition, cherchant à détourner de la foi le proconsul.
9 Alors Saul, appelé aussi Paul, rempli du Saint-Esprit, fixa les regards sur lui, et dit:
10 Homme plein de toute espèce de ruse et de fraude, fils du diable, ennemi de toute justice, ne cesseras-tu point de pervertir les voies droites du Seigneur?
