And when they were assembled, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people and the customs of our ancestors, yet have I been delivered up a prisoner into the hands of the Romans.

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they are thick of hearing, and their eyes have they shut; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and become converts, and I should heal them." Be it known therefore unto you, that to the Gentiles is the salvation of God sent, and they will hear. And when he had thus spoken, the Jews went away, and had much disputing among themselves.
