Elymas
Elymas, also known as Bar-Jesus, is a figure described in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 13, where he is referred to as a mágos, which the King James Bible translates as "sorcerer" and false prophet.
In the Bible
In Acts 13, Paul the Apostle and Barnabas travel to the city of Paphos in Cyprus, where the Roman Proconsul, Sergius Paulus, wishes to hear them speak about Jesus. Elymas, described as a false prophet and a sorcerer, opposes them, whereupon Paul announces that God intends to make Elymas temporarily blind. A cloud of darkness immediately begins blocking his sight; after this, Sergius Paulus is converted to Christianity.According to The Golden Legend, Elymas later stirred up a riot of Jews and pagans in Salamina against Barnabas, resulting in his death.
