21 They said to him, “We have not received any leters from Judea concerning
you, and none of the brothers that have come have reported or spoken any evil of
you. 22 But we think it is proper to hear from you what you think. For concerning
this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”
23 When they had arranged a day to be with him, many came to him at his
residence. From morning unl evening he explained and solemnly tesfied of the
kingdom of God to them, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of
Moses and the Prophets. 24 Some believed what was said, but some did not
believe. 25 Being in disagreement with one another, they were dismissed aer
Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit accurately spoke to our fathers through
Isaiah the prophet,
26 ‘Go to this people and say:
You shall certainly hear, but never understand;
and you shall certainly see, but never perceive;
27 for the heart of this people has grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have closed their eyes,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.’
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvaon of God has been sent to
the Genles. They will hear it!”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed and disputed greatly among
themselves. 30 Paul remained two whole years in his own rented house. He
welcomed all who came to him, 31 boldly and freely preaching the kingdom of
God and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ.
