*
When they had appointed a day for him ,
they came to him at his lodging in great numbers .
And he expounded the matter to them from morning till evening ,
testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets .
*
And some were convinced by what he said ,
while others disbelieved .
*
So ,
as they disagreed among themselves ,
they departed ,
after Paul had made one statement : "
The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet :
* `
Go to this people ,
and say ,
You shall indeed hear but never understand ,
and you shall indeed see but never perceive .
*
For this people '
s heart has grown dull ,
and their ears are heavy of hearing ,
and their eyes they have closed ;
lest they should perceive with their eyes ,
and hear with their ears ,
and understand with their heart ,
and turn for me to heal them .'
