ACTS 13:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.”
Now the Lord's hand is against you. You are going to be blind, for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun — Paul pronounces judgment with apostolic authority (the Lord's hand is against you), striking blindness upon Elymas as a sign of spiritual judgment. The darkness that envelops the magician mirrors Paul's own experience of blindness at his conversion (9:8-9), suggesting that physical blindness may precede spiritual sight. This is the first miracle attributed to Paul in Acts, marking him as an instrument of God's justice.
