Paulo e Barnabé são Enviados para a Ilha de Chipre
1
Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.
2
And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.
3
Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.
4
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they went by ship to Cyprus.
5
And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.
6
And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus
7
Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of the word of God.
8
But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.
9
But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,
10
O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right ways of the Lord?
11
And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him and he went about looking for a guide.
12
Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.

32
And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,
33
