1 Kings 13:4-6
13:4 When the king heard what the prophet
cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam, standing at the altar, extended his hand
and ordered,
“Seize him!” The hand he had extended shriveled up
and he could not pull it back.
13:5 The altar split open and the ashes
fell from the altar to the ground,
in fulfillment of the sign the prophet had announced with the
Lord’s authority.
13:6 The king pled with
the prophet,
“Seek the favor of
the
Lord your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored.” So the prophet sought the
Lord’s favor
and the king’s hand was restored to its former condition.
Zechariah 11:17
11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd
who abandons the flock!
May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye!
May his arm wither completely away,
and his right eye become completely blind!”
John 5:3
5:3 A great number of sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying in these walkways.
