Acts 28:23                                     816                                     Acts 28:31

            what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect,
            we knowe that euery where it is spoken against.
            23 And when they had appointed him a day, there
            came many vnto him into his lodging, to whom
            he expounded testifying the kingdome of God,
            and persuading them those things that concerne
            Iesus, both out of the Lawe of Moses, and out
            of the Prophets, from morning to night.  24  And
            some were persuaded with ye things which were
            spoken, and some beleeued not.     25  Therefore
            when they agreed not among themselues, they
            departed, after that Paul had spoken one word,
            to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the
            Prophet vnto our fathers,  26 Saying, Goe vnto this
            people, and say, By hearing ye shall heare, and
            shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and
            not perceiue.  27  For the heart of this people is
            waxed fatte, and their eares are dull of hearing,
            and with their eyes haue they winked, least they
            shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their
            eares, and vnderstand with their heartes, and
            should returne that I might heale them.  28  Be it
            knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation
            of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall
            heare it.  29 And when he had saide these things,
            the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning
            among themselues.    30  And Paul remained two
            yeeres full in an house hired for himselfe, and
            receiued all that came in vnto him,  31 Preaching
            the kingdome of God, and teaching those things
            which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all
            boldnesse of speache, without let.
