18 and saw him saying to me, ^a‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’

Acts 28:23-27

23 When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening ^bhe expounded to them, testifying to ^cthe kingdom of God and ^dtrying to convince them about Jesus ^eboth from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. 24 And ^fsome were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: ^g“The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

26 ^h“‘Go to this people, and say,
ⁱ“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 ^jFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and ^kturn, and I would heal them.’

2 Corinthians 4:4

4 In their case ^lthe god of this world ^mhas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing ⁿthe light of ^othe gospel of the glory of Christ, ^pwho is the image of God.
