Deeds (Act) of Apostles 28:22-31

²²But we pray to hear of thee, what things thou feelest; for of this sect it is known to us, that everywhere men gainsaith it.

²³And when they had ordained a day to him, many men came to him into the inn. To which he expounded, witnessing the kingdom of God, and counselled them of Jesus, of the law of Moses, and of prophets, from the morrow till to the eventide.

²⁴And some believed to these things that were said of Paul, some believed not.

²⁵And when they were not consent-ing together, they departed. And Paul said one word, For the Holy Ghost spake well by Isaiah, the prophet, to our fathers,

²⁶and said, Go thou to this people, and say to them, With ear ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand; and ye seeing shall see, and ye shall not behold.

²⁷For the heart of this people is greatly fatted, and with ears they heard heavily, and they closed together their eyes, lest peradventure they see with eyes, and with ears hear, and by heart understand, and be converted, and I heal them.

²⁸Therefore be it known to you, that this health of God, is sent to heathen men, and they shall hear.

²⁹And when he had said these things, Jews went out from him, and had much question, or musing, or seeking, among themselves.

³⁰And he dwelled full two years in his hired place; and he received all that entered to him,

³¹and preached the kingdom of God, and taught those things that be of the Lord Jesus Christ, with all trust, without forbidding. Amen.
