The Early Church

while others refused to believe. So they left, disagreeing among themselves, after Sha’ul had made one final statement: “The Ruach HaKodesh spoke well in saying to your fathers through Yesha‘yahu the prophet,

‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing but never understand, and you will keep on seeing but never perceive,

because the heart of this people has grown thick — with their ears they barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, for fear that they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and do t’shuvah, so that I could heal them.”’

Therefore, let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Goyim, and they will listen!”

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Sha’ul remained two whole years in a place he rented for himself; and he continued receiving all who came to see him,

openly and without hindrance proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
