26 saying,
a‘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.” ’
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent ato the Gentiles, and they will hear it!”  
29 1And when he had said these words, the Jews departed and had a great dispute among themselves.
