예수의 아들 이라는 이름으로 활동했다.
그의 또다른 이름은
엘루마 이다.

Paul 은 그의 거짓 마술을 꾸짖자 하나님이 그의 눈을 멀게 하셨다.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul , filled with the Holy Spirit , fastened his eyes on him,
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
