44 Ac 13.11 Elymas struck with blindness

Acts 13:4-12 (ESV)

^4  So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

^5  When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

^6  When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.

^7  He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

^8  But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

^9  But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

^10  and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?

^11  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.

^12  Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
