24 Some of them were convinced by his words, but others would not believe.
25 So they left, disagreeing among themselves, after Paul had said this one thing: “How well the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors!
26 For he said,‘Go and say to this people:You will listen and listen, but not understand;you will look and look, but not see,
27 because this people's minds are dull,and they have stopped up their earsand closed their eyes.Otherwise, their eyes would see,their ears would hear,their minds would understand,and they would turn to me, says God,and I would heal them.’ ”
28 And Paul concluded: “You are to know, then, that God's message of salvation has been sent to the Gentiles. They will listen!”
30 For two years Paul lived in a place he rented for himself, and there he welcomed all who came to see him.
31 He preached about the Kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ, speaking with all boldness and freedom.
