Acts 28:21-31

21 And they said to him, Neither we have received letters of thee from Judaea, neither any of brethren coming showed, either spake any evil thing of thee [or spake any evil thing of thee].
22 But we pray to hear of thee, what things thou feelest; for of this sect it is known to us, that every where men gainsaith it [that every where it is against-said].
23 And when they had ordained a day to him, many men came to him into the inn [Soothly when they had ordained a day to him, more came to him into the hostelry]. To which he expounded [To whom he expounded], witnessing the kingdom of God, and counseled them of Jesus, of the law of Moses, and [of] prophets, from the morrow till to [the] eventide.
24 And some believed to these things that were said of Paul, some believed not.
25 And when they were not consenting together, they departed. And Paul said one word [When they were not consenting together, they departed, Paul saying one word], For the Holy Ghost spake well by Esaias, the prophet, to our fathers,
26 and said [saying], Go thou to this people, and say to them, With ear ye shall hear [With ears ye shall here], and ye shall not understand; and ye seeing shall see, and ye shall not behold.
27 For the heart of this people is greatly fatted [The heart of this people is enfatted], and with ears they heard heavily, and they closed together their eyes, lest peradventure they see with eyes, and with ears hear, and by heart understand, and be converted, and I heal them.
28 Therefore be it known to you, that this health of God is sent to heathen men, and they shall hear.
29 And when he had said these things, Jews went out from him, and had much question, or musing [and had much question, or seeking], among themselves.
30 And he dwelled full two years in his hired place [Soothly he dwelled all two years in his hired place]; and he received all that entered to him,
31 and preached the kingdom of God, and taught those things that be of the Lord Jesus Christ [preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching what things be of the Lord Jesus Christ], with all trust, without forbidding. Amen.
