to whom{G3739} he expounded{G1620}{(G5710)} and testified{G1263}{(G5740)} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316},{G5037} persuading{G3982}{(G5723)} them{G846} concerning{G4012} Jesus{G2424}, both{G5037} out of{G575} the law{G3551} of Moses{G3475}, and{G2532} out of the prophets{G4396}, from{G575} morning{G4404} till{G2193} evening{G2073}. 24 And{G2532} some{G3303} believed{G3982}{(G5712)} the things which were spoken{G3004}{(G5746)}, and{G1161} some believed not{G569}{(G5707)}. 25 And{G1161} when they agreed not{G800}{G5607}{(G5752)} among{G4314} themselves{G240}, they departed{G630}{(G5710)}, after that Paul{G3972} had spoken{G2036}{(G5631)} one{G1520} word{G4487},{G3754} Well{G2573} spake{G2980}{(G5656)} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} by{G1223} Esaias{G2268} the prophet{G4396} unto{G4314} our{G2257} fathers{G3962}, 26 Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Go{G4198}{(G5676)} unto{G4314} this{G5126} people{G2992}, and{G2532} say{G2036}{(G5628)}, Hearing{G189} ye shall hear{G191}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} shall{G4920} not{G3364} understand{G4920}{(G5655)}; and{G2532} seeing{G991}{(G5723)} ye shall see{G991}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} not{G3364} perceive{G1492}{(G5632)}: 27 For{G1063} the heart{G2588} of this{G5127} people{G2992} is waxed gross{G3975}{(G5681)}, and{G2532} their ears{G3775} are dull{G917} of hearing{G191}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} their{G846} eyes{G3788} have they closed{G2576}{(G5656)}; lest{G3379} they should see{G1492}{(G5632)} with their eyes{G3788}, and{G2532} hear{G191}{(G5661)} with their ears{G3775}, and{G2532} understand{G4920}{(G5632)} with their heart{G2588}, and{G2532} should be converted{G1994}{(G5661)}, and{G2532} I should heal{G2390}{(G5667)} them{G846}. 28 Be it{G2077}{(G5749)} known{G1110} therefore{G3767} unto you{G5213}, that{G3754} the salvation{G4992} of God{G2316} is sent{G649}{(G5648)} unto the Gentiles{G1484}, and{G2532} that they will hear{G191}{(G5695)} it{G846}. 29 And{G2532} when he{G846} had said{G2036}{(G5631)} these words{G5023}, the Jews{G2453} departed{G565}{(G5627)}, and had{G2192}{(G5723)} great{G4183} reasoning{G4803} among{G1722} themselves{G1438}. 30 And{G1161} Paul{G3972} dwelt{G3306}{(G5656)} two{G1333} whole{G3650} years{G1333} in{G1722} his own{G2398} hired house{G3410}, and{G2532} received{G588}{(G5711)} all{G3956} that came in{G1531}{(G5740)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, 31 Preaching{G2784}{(G5723)} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316}, and{G2532} teaching{G1321}{(G5723)} those things which concern{G4012} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, with{G3326} all{G3956} confidence{G3954}, no man forbidding him{G209}.
