Every verse was said to the Jews and the one in acts is Paul quoting Christ. Most Jews were blinded so they could not understand because they rejected Christ.
Blindness;
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rejection
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
It never says this about Gentiles but say clearly that Salvation was sent to the Gentile and that they would hear it.
Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Oop's sorry I didn't mean to embarass you. If you would just study scripture instead of sitting in church like a bump on a log you actually might learn something...

Explain away Scripture all you want. That is between you and God.
As for "sitting in church like a bump on a log..." you are obviously speaking about someone other than me. I'm a bi-vocational pastor and I often work more than 60 hours a week at my secular job before going to lead my church. I've planted two churches, have two degrees from a major seminary, and work roughly 20 hours a day -- every day except Sunday when I take a nap in the afternoon whether I want to or not. Somewhere in that mix I also have the time to read 3 books a week and take care of my beautiful bride.
What about your own stellar credentials?
