Acts 28:26-31

26 1"'Go to this people, and say, 2You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.
27 3For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and 4turn, and I would heal them.'
28 Therefore let it be known to you that 5this 6salvation of God 7has been sent to the Gentiles; 8they will listen."[a]
30 He lived there two whole years at his own expense,[b] and 9welcomed all who came to him,
31 10proclaiming 11the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ 12with all boldness and 13without hindrance.
