44:028:023 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
44:028:024 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
44:028:025 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed,
after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost
by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
44:028:026 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear,
and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
perceive:
44:028:027 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
44:028:028 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
44:028:029 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had
great reasoning among themselves.
44:028:030 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
received all that came in unto him,
44:028:031 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
