BIBLE DICTIONARY BAR-JESUS
Son of Jesus
(also called Elymas), a Jew who had obtained an influence over Sergius
Paulus, the Roman proconsul in Cyprus (Acts 13: 6-12). He is
called a sorcerer or magician, and a false prophet. Paul destroyed his
influence by calling down upon him a proof of the divine anger (Acts 13: 11).
