Acts 28:25-31

25And when they disagreed with one another, they began leaving after Paul said one parting statement: “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, 26saying, ‘1Go to this people and say, “2 3You will keep on hearing, and will not understand; And 4you will keep on seeing, and will not perceive;27 5For the hearts of this people have become 6insensitive, And with their ears they 7hardly hear, And they have closed their eyes; Otherwise they might see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart and return, And I would heal them.”’ 28Therefore, let it be known to you that 8this salvation of God has been sent 9to the Gentiles; they will also listen.”10

30Now Paul stayed two full years 11in his own rented lodging and welcomed all who came to him, 31 12 13preaching the kingdom of God and teaching things about the Lord Jesus Christ 14with all openness, unhindered.
