Acts 28:23-29

So they set a date with Paul. A large number came to hear what he would say. He tried to convince them. Paul used the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets to preach Christ to them. Some of them were convinced. Faith comes through the message about Christ (Romans 10:17). Each of them responded - either to believe, or to disbelieve. After Paul had said this one thing. This seems to imply that most of them disbelieved. How well! This is from Isaiah 6:9-10. This quotation is found six times in the Gospels, here in Acts, and once in Romans. It is a horrible prediction of God's judgment on those who refuse to believe. See notes on Matthew 13:14-17. These words are the one final thing Paul says to them before going to the Gentiles. The Jews left, arguing violently. Even those who disbelieved, could not put Christ out of their minds.

* Some MSS add Acts 28:29: After he said this, the Jews left, arguing vigorously among themselves.
