Acts 28:26-28

New Testament for Everyone

²⁶when he said,

Go to this people and say to them:
Listen and listen, but never hear;
look and look, but never see!
²⁷For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are dim with hearing,
and they have closed their eyes—
so that they might not see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart,
and turn, and I would heal them.

²⁸“Let it then be known to you that this salvation from God has been sent to the Gentiles. They will listen.”

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.”
²⁷For 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)
