Acts 28:25-31

through the prophet Isaiah,
'Go to this people and say,
You will indeed listen, but never understand,

For this people's heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,and they have shut their eyes;so that
they might not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn —
and I would heal them.'
Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to
the Gentiles; they will listen."

came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord
Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.
