Acts 28:17-28

17And it cameG1096 to passG1096 after threeG5140 daysG2250, that he called togetherG4905 those who wereG1510 the chief of the JewsG2453; and when they had comeG1096 togetherG4905 he saidG3004 to them, Brethren, I having done nothing against the peopleG2992 or the customsG1485 of our forefathers, have beenG1510 deliveredG3860 a prisonerG1198 from JerusalemG2414 into the handsG5495 of the RomansG4514,

18who having examined me were minded to let me goG630, because there was nothingG3367 worthy of deathG2288 in me.

19But the JewsG2453 speaking against it, I was compelledG315 to appealG1941 to CaesarG2541, not as having anythingG5100 to accuseG2723 my nationG1484 of.

20For this causeG156 thereforeG3767 I have called you to [me] to seeG3708 and to speak to you; for on accountG1223 of the hopeG1680 of IsraelG2474 I have this chainG254 about me.

21And they saidG3004 to him, For our part, we have neither receivedG1209 lettersG1121 from Judaea concerningG4012 thee, nor has any oneG5100 of the brethren who has arrived reportedG518 or saidG3004 anythingG5100 evilG4190 concerningG4012 thee.

22But we beg to hearG191 of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerningG4012 this sectG139 it isG1510 known to us that it isG1510 everywhereG3837 spokenG483 against.

23And having appointedG5021 him a dayG2250 manyG4183 cameG2064 to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifyingG1263 of the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316, and persuadingG3982 them concerningG4012 JesusG2424, both from the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 and the prophetsG4396, from earlyG4404 morningG4404 to eveningG2073.

24And some were persuadedG3982 of the things which were saidG3004, but some disbelieved.

25And beingG1510 disagreed among themselves they left; PaulG3972 having spokenG2980 oneG1520 word, WellG2573 spokeG2980 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 through Esaias the prophetG4396 to our fathersG3962,

26sayingG3004, GoG4198 to this peopleG2992, and sayG3004, HearingG191 ye shall hearG191 and not understandG4920, and seeingG3708 ye shall seeG3708 and not perceive.

27For the heartG2588 of this peopleG2992 has become fat, and they hearG191 heavily with their earsG3775, and they have closed their eyesG3788; lest they should seeG3708 with their eyesG3788, and hearG191 with their earsG3775, and understandG4920 with their heartG2588, and be converted, and I should healG2390 them.

28BeG1510 it known to you thereforeG3767, that this salvation of 2GodG2316 has beenG1510 sentG649 to the nationsG1484; they alsoG2532 will hearG191 [it].
