Acts 28:27 Context
25And when they agreed not among themselues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the Prophet, vnto our fathers, 26Saying, Goe vnto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceiue. 27For the heart of this people is waxed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearing, and their eyes haue they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their heart, and should bee conuerted, and I should heale them. 28Be it knowen therfore vnto you, that the saluation of God is sent vnto the Gentiles, and that they wil heare it. 29And when hee had saide these words, the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning among themselues.
