Acts 13:8

Context
13:8 But the magician Elymas 1  (for that is the way his name is translated) 2  opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul 3  away from the faith.

1 tn On the debate over what the name “Elymas” means, see BDAG 320 s.v. ᾿Ελύμας. The magician’s behavior is more directly opposed to the faith than Simon Magus’ was.

2 sn A parenthetical note by the author.

3 sn The proconsul was the Roman official who ruled over a province traditionally under the control of the Roman senate.
