⁸ Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.^(A) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. ⁹ For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

¹¹ Now the hand of the Lord is against you.^(A) You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”^(B)

Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
