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 our fathers,

26 saying, " 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. "

1. The disagreement is now between those who accept and those who reject.

2. Paul quotes from the prophet Isaiah. (Isaiah 6:9-10)

3. What is the message? Paul is saying that Isaiah said that some would hear and not receive the message. Some will hear but not understand. They will see but not perceive.
