Acts 28:27

Context

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, 1 

and their ears are hard of hearing, 2 

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, 3  and I would heal them.”’ 4 

1 tn Or “insensitive.”

sn The heart of this people has become dull. The charge from Isaiah is like Stephen’s against the Jews of Jerusalem (Acts 7:51-53). They were a hard-hearted and disobedient people.

2 tn Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).

3 sn Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.

4 sn A quotation from Isa 6:9-10.
