Legacy Standard Bible
23 And when they had set a day for Paul, they came to him at (A)his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly (B)bearing witness about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, (C)from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening. 24 (D)And some were being persuaded by the things spoken, but others were not believing. 25 And when they disagreed with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, 26 saying,
‘(E)Go to this people and say,
“[a](F)You will keep on hearing, [b]but will not understand;
And [c]you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive;
27 (G)For the heart of this people has become dull,
And with their ears they scarcely hear,
And they have closed their eyes;
Lest they might see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I heal them.”’
28 Therefore let it be known to you that (H)this salvation of God was sent (I)to the Gentiles—they will also hear.”

New International Version
23 They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God,(A) and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets(B) he tried to persuade them about Jesus.(C) 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.(D) 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said(E) through Isaiah the prophet:
26 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 For this people’s heart has become calloused;(F)
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](G)
28 “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation(H) has been sent to the Gentiles,(I) and they will listen!”
