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).
