Exegesis
A sharp narrative shift follows with parachrēma de epesen {παραχρῆμα δὲ ἔπεσεν | parachrê-ma dé épesen}, where the adverb parachrēma “immediately” with the aorist verb epesen “fell” portrays the instantaneous fulfillment of the spoken word.
In context — Acts 13:11
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until a season. Immediately, then, mist and darkness fell upon him, and going about, he was seeking those to lead him by the hand.
