Acts 28:23-31

23SoG1161 they setG5021 a dayG2250 toG846 meet with Paul, and manyG4119 people cameG2064 toG4314 the place he was stayingG3578. He expoundedG1620 toG3739 them fromG575 morningG4404 toG2193 eveningG2073, testifying aboutG1263 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 andG5037 persuadingG3982 themG846 aboutG4012 JesusG2424 fromG575 theG3588 LawG3551 of MosesG3475 andG2532 theG3588 ProphetsG4396.

SomeG3588 of them were convincedG3982 by whatG3588 he saidG3004, butG1161 others refused to believeG569. 25 They disagreedG1510 G800 amongG4314 themselves and began to leaveG630 after PaulG3972 had madeG2036 this final statementG4487 : “TheG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 was rightG2573 when He spokeG2980 toG4314 yourG4771 fathersG3962 throughG1223 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396:

26 ‘GoG4198 toG4314 thisG3778 peopleG2992 andG2532 sayG2036,“You will be ever hearingG189 G191 but neverG3756 G3361 understandingG4920 ;you will be ever seeingG991 but neverG3756 G3361 perceivingG3708.”27ForG1063 thisG3778 people’sG2992 heartG2588 has grown callousG3975 ;they hardly hearG191 G917 withG3588 their earsG3775,andG2532 they have closedG2576 theirG846 eyesG3788.OtherwiseG3361 G4219 they might seeG3708 withG3588 their eyesG3788 ,hearG191 withG3588 their earsG3775 ,understandG4920 withG3588 their heartsG2588,andG2532 turnG1994, andG2532 I would healG2390 themG846.’1

28BeG1510 advisedG1110, thereforeG3767, thatG3754 God’sG2316 salvationG4992 has been sentG649 to theG3588 GentilesG1484, andG2532 theyG846 will listenG191!”2

Paul stayed thereG1696 two full yearsG1333 G3650 inG1722 his ownG2398 rented houseG3410 , welcomingG588 allG3956 whoG3588 cameG1531 toG4314 visit himG846. 31BoldlyG3326 G3956 G3954 and freelyG209 he proclaimedG2784 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 andG2532 taughtG1321 aboutG4012 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
