23 So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, (A)to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus (B)from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening. 24 And (C)some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 25 So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to [a]our fathers, 26 saying,

(D)‘Go to this people and say:
“Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.” ’

“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
