Kisah Para Rasul 28:27

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, ⁵ 

and their ears are hard of hearing, ⁶ 

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, ⁷  and I would heal them.”’ ⁸ 

[16:18]  ¹ tn Grk “becoming greatly annoyed.” The participle διαπονηθείς (diaponhqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. The aorist has been translated as an ingressive aorist (entry into a state or condition). See BDAG 235 s.v. διαπονέομαι.

[16:18]  ² tn Grk “and turning.” The participle ἐπιστρέψας (epistreya") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[16:18]  ³ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[16:18]  ⁴ tn BDAG 1102-3 s.v. ὥρα 2.c has “at that very time, at once, instantly” for the usage in this verse.

[28:27]  ⁵ tn Or “insensitive.”

[28:27]  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.

[28:27]  ⁶ tn Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).

[28:27]  ⁷ sn Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.

[28:27]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 6:9-10.
