The Early Church

Therefore when they agreed not among themselues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the Prophet vnto our fathers,

Saying, Goe vnto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceiue.

For the heart of this people is waxed fatte, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes haue they winked, least they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their heartes, and should returne that I might heale them.

Be it knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall heare it.

And when he had saide these things, the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning among themselues.

And Paul remained two yeeres full in an house hired for himselfe, and receiued all that came in vnto him,

Preaching the kingdome of God, and teaching those things which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all boldnesse of speache, without let.
