Acts 28:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 [a]Saying, (A)Go unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.
27 For the heart of this people is waxed fat, and their ears are dull of hearing, and with their eyes have they [b]winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and should return that I might heal them.
28 [c]Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall hear it.

Acts 28:26-28
New International Version
26 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 For this people’s heart has become calloused;(A)
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](B)
28 “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation(C) has been sent to the Gentiles,(D) and they will listen!”
