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. And some regarded the things that were spoken, but others did not believe.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it. And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having much debate among themselves.
