is against 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.

15
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the princes of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,

16
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with
his hand said, Men of Israel and ye that fear God hearken.
