Acts 28:27
New English Translation
27 For the heart of this people has become dull,[a]
and their ears are hard of hearing,[b]
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,[c] and I would heal them.”’[d]
