24 And [ch. 14:4;17:4,5;19:9;23:7]some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: Matt. 15:7"The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
26 Cited from Isa. 6:9,10"‘Go to this people, and say,
Matt. 13:14,15;Mark 4:12;[Luke 8:10]"You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive."
27 [John 12:40;Rom. 11:8] For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and See Luke 22:32turn, and I would heal them.’
