Acts 28:23-29 - The Response To Paul's Message
23 And having appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he discoursed and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets, from morning till evening. 24 And some regarded the things that were spoken, but others did not believe.
25 And so disagreeing one with another they separated, when Paul had said one word, to wit, that the holy Spirit spake rightly by Esaias the prophet to our fathers, 26 saying, Go to this people and say, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is stupified, 27 and they hear heavily with their ears, and have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it. 29 And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having much debate among themselves.
