King James Version (KJV)

Acts 13:7

“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.”

Verse in context — Acts 13

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,

The birth and growth of the early church through the power of the Holy Spirit.
