Acts 28:26-27
New English Translation

26 when he said,

‘Go to this people and say,
“You will keep on hearing,[a] but will never understand,
and you will keep on looking,[b] but will never perceive.
27 For the heart of this people has become dull,[c]
and their ears are hard of hearing,[d]
and they have closed their eyes,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn,[e] and I would heal them.”’[f]
