It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain. 21 They replied, 'We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor has any of the brothers who came here reported or said anything bad about you.' 22 But we would like to hear from you what you think, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect. 23 They arranged to meet with him on a certain day, and many came to the place where he was staying. From morning until evening, Paul was explaining and testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them about Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets. 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others did not believe. 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: 'The Holy Spirit was right in speaking to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah:' 26 'Go to this people and say, "You will indeed hear but never understand; you will indeed see but never perceive."' 27 For this people's heart has grown calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.' 28 Therefore, let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen! 29 After he said these words, the Jews departed, having a great debate among themselves. 30 For two whole years, Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. 31 He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance.
