God’s action against Bar‑Jesus (Elymas) — the sudden, temporary blindness he suffered.
Acts 13:6–12 records that when Elymas opposed Paul, Paul (filled with the Holy Spirit) pronounced judgment and Elymas was struck blind. Seeing this, Sergius Paulus was astonished at the Lord’s teaching and believed. The other options don’t fit that passage.
