And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

And when they (the Jews) agreed not among themselves - the discussion having passed into a debate between the two parties into which the visitors were now divided, respecting the arguments and conclusions of the apostle,

They departed - the materials of discussion being felt by both parties to be exhausted; After that Paul had spoken one word - uttered one solemn parting testimony, from those Scriptures regarded by both alike as "the Holy Spirit speaking" to Israel,

Well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers - or, 'your fathers' (according to the better reading).
