'Proconsul' in the Bible

He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear God’s message.

But Elymas the sorcerer (this is the meaning of his name) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

Then the proconsul, seeing what happened, believed and was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack against Paul and brought him to the judge’s bench.
