23 They now arranged for a day with him, and they came in greater numbers to him in his lodging place. And he explained the matter to them by bearing thorough witness concerning the kingdom of God+ and by using persuasion with them concerning Jesus from both the law of Moses+ and the Prophets,+ from morning till evening.

30 So he remained for an entire two years in his own hired house,+ and he would kindly receive all those who came in to him,

15 so there is eagerness on my part to declare the good news+ also to YOU there in Rome.+
