When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and thanked God.

They replied, “We have had no letters from Judea or reports against you from anyone who has come here. 22But we want to hear what you believe, for the only thing we know about this movement is that it is denounced everywhere.”

‘Go and say to this people: When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend.27For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes—so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’

Lord God my Father,

You are my hope and strength. Allow you Truth to lead me and inspire others. Clear the thoughts of those who don’t understand so they may experience your Peace.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
