21 And they said to him, "We have received no letters about you from Judea, nor has any of the brothers come and* reported or spoken anything evil about you.

24 And some were convinced by* what was said, but others refused to believe.

26 saying,
'Go to this people and say, "⌊You will keep on hearing⌋* and will never understand, and ⌊you will keep on seeing⌋* and will never perceive. 27 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their* ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, lest they see with their* eyes, and hear with their* ears, and understand with their* heart, and turn, and I would heal them." '* 28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!"* 30 So he stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to him, 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
