Acts 28:27 in Context — Acts 28
25 Comme ils se retiraient en désaccord, Paul n’ajouta que ces mots: C’est avec raison que le Saint-Esprit, parlant à vos pères par le prophète Ésaïe, a dit:
26 Va vers ce peuple, et dis: Vous entendrez de vos oreilles, et vous ne comprendrez point; Vous regarderez de vos yeux, et vous ne verrez point.
27 Car le cœur de ce peuple est devenu insensible; Ils ont endurci leurs oreilles, et ils ont fermé leurs yeux, De peur qu’ils ne voient de leurs yeux, qu’ils n’entendent de leurs oreilles, Qu’ils ne comprennent de leur cœur, Qu’ils ne se convertissent, et que je ne les guérisse.
28 Sachez donc que ce salut de Dieu a été envoyé aux païens, et qu’ils l’écouteront.
29 [Lorsqu’il eut dit cela, les Juifs s’en allèrent, discutant vivement entre eux.]
