Acts 13:27-32 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not… I was visited by a very distinguished young Israelite, who had seen me distributing the sacred volume, and I proposed that we should read a portion of Scripture together. He agreed on the condition that it should be from the Old Testament; and I read the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. "But," said he, "that is in the New Testament." "No, no," I replied. "There, take the book. Read it with that true heart which I perceive in you, and you will find what you seek." He has found his Saviour, has accepted Him, and confesses Him with joy. (Pasteur Hirsch.) Parallel Verses KJV: For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. |
