ACTS 13:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,”
Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas — Luke's naming shift from Saul to Paul marks a turning point: the apostle to the Gentiles emerges. The filling with the Holy Spirit (plethō tou Pneumatos) provides the spiritual resource for confrontation, not pride or personal vendetta. Elymas (the Aramaic name matching the Greek magos) now stands identified for judgment; Paul's gaze signifies apostolic authority in spiritual discernment.
