Then Saul, who also is called Paul Moved by an immediate inspiration of the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him Looked steadfastly on that impostor, and said, with just indignation, O full of all subtlety Παντος δολου, of all guile, as a false prophet; and all mischief As a magician; thou child of the devil A title well suited to a magician; and one who not only was himself unrighteous, but laboured to keep others from all goodness; wilt thou not cease Even now, when thou hast heard the truth of the gospel; to pervert By thy crafty and diabolical misrepresentations; the right ways of the Lord The ways of truth, piety, and virtue; the only right ways. And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee The hand of the heavy displeasure of the Lord Jesus, whose gospel thou opposest; and thou shalt be blind Totally so, not seeing even the sun at noon-day, for a season That thou mayest be convinced of thy sin and folly; and, if possible, be brought to repentance for it. And immediately While Paul was yet speaking; there fell on him a mist and a darkness That is, a gradually increasing darkness; and he went about In the utmost confusion; seeking some to lead him by the hand As not being able so much as to find the door without a guide, and afraid that he might run upon any person or thing that stood in his way.
