Acts 28:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵Since they could not agree among themselves, they started leaving. But Paul said, “The Holy Spirit said the right thing when he sent Isaiah the prophet ²⁶^(A) to tell our ancestors,

‘Go to these people
    and tell them:
You will listen and listen,
    but never understand.
You will look and look,
    but never see.
²⁷All of you
    have stubborn hearts.
Your ears are stopped up,
    and your eyes are covered.
You cannot see or hear
    or understand.
If you could,
you would turn to me,
    and I would heal you.’ ”
