[[Struck]] blind for "seeking to turn away the deputy (proconsul) from the faith." As he opposed the gospel light, in significant retribution he lost the natural light. Contrast Paul's simultaneously receiving sight and the [[Holy]] Spirit ( Acts 9:17). As belief in religion declined under the Roman empire, belief in eastern magic increased. </p> | |||

<p> A [[Jewish]] sorcerer in the retinue of Sergius Paulus, the Roman proconsul at [[Paphos]] in Cyprus. He was sharply reproved by Paul, and struck with instant blindness for opposing the religious inquiries of the proconsul, who was abandoning idolatry and superstition, and embracing the gospel, Acts 13:6-12 . His blindness was to continue "for a season," and may have led to his spiritual illumination. </p> | |||

<p> ( '''''Ε᾿Λύμας''''' ), an appellative commonly derived from the Arabic ''Aliman ("A Wise Man,"'' see Pfeiffer, ''Dubia Vex.'' page 941; like the Turkish title ''Ulema,'' see Lakemacher, ''De Elyma Mago,'' in his ''Observatt.'' 2:162), which Luke interprets by '''''Ὸ''''' '''''Μάγος''''' , the ''Magian'' or "sorcerer:" it is applied to a Jew named BAR-JESUS, who had attached himself to the proconsul of Cyprus, Sergius Paulus, when Paul visited the island ( Acts 13:6 sq.). A.D. 44. On his attempting to dissuade the proconsul from embracing the [[Christian]] faith, he was struck with miraculous blindness by the apostle (see Neander's History of first [[Planting]] of the Christian Church, 1:125). A very different but less probable derivation of the word is given by Lightfoot in his [[Hebrew]] and Talmudical Exercitations on the Acts (Works, 8:461), and in his [[Sermon]] on Elymas the [[Sorcerer]] (Works, 7:104). Chrysostom observes, in reference to the blindness inflicted by the apostle on Bar-Jesus, that the limiting clause, for a season, "shows that it was not intended so much for the punishment of the sorcerer as for the conversion of the deputy (Chrysost. in Acta Apost. Homeil. 28; Opera, 9:241). On the practice generally then prevailing, in the decay of faith, of consulting Oriental impostors of this kind, see Conybeare and Howson, Life of St. Paul, 1:177-180, 2d ed. (See [[Magic]]). </p> | |||
