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 grown callous;
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.’
— Acts 28:26-27

Illustration of Acts 28:25-26 MESSAGE -- When the unbelievers got cantankerous and started bickering with each other, Paul interrupted: "I have just one more thing to say to you.
