The word "him" refers to the magician Elymas, who is also called Bar Jesus ([Acts 13:6-8](./06.md)).
# Connecting Statement:
While on the island of Paphos, Paul begins to talk to Elymas.
# Saul, who is also called Paul
"Saul" was his Jewish name, and "Paul" was his Roman name. Since he was speaking to a Roman official, he used his Roman name. Alternate translation: "Saul, who now called himself Paul" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
