Acts 13:11“mist”kai nun idou cheiras kuriou epi sin, kai esi tuflos mē bleparōtos ton hēlion achri kairou. parachrēma de piptata epi auton achluas kai skotem, kai periagarōtos zētate cheiragōgoin.Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
