Context of Acts 28:29
27For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 28Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear [it]. [And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.] 30And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him, 31preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
