In biblical context, a callous heart is often associated with stubbornness and rebellion against God ( Ezekiel 3:7). The Israelites frequently exhibited this behavior, as seen in their repeated disobedience throughout the Old Testament. The hardening of the heart is a recurring theme, notably in Pharaoh's resistance to Moses in Exodus. This condition is a warning against spiritual apathy and the dangers of ignoring divine truth. they hardly hear with their ears,
This indicates a lack of spiritual perception and understanding. In the cultural context of the time, hearing was a primary means of learning and receiving instruction. The phrase suggests a deliberate refusal to listen, akin to the Israelites' rejection of the prophets. Jesus often used similar language to describe those who were spiritually deaf (Matthew 13:15). The inability to hear God's word is a sign of spiritual blindness and resistance to the Holy Spirit. and they have closed their eyes.
Closing one's eyes symbolizes a willful ignorance or rejection of truth. In biblical symbolism, eyes represent understanding and insight. The act of closing them indicates a conscious decision to ignore or reject God's revelation. This mirrors the behavior of the religious leaders who refused to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. The closing of eyes is a metaphor for spiritual blindness, as seen inIsaiah 6:10, which is the source of this quotation. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
This phrase suggests the potential for spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Seeing with one's eyes implies gaining true understanding and recognizing God's work. In the New Testament, Jesus often healed physical blindness as a sign of spiritual sight (John 9:39). The possibility of seeing indicates that repentance and acceptance of God's message can lead to spiritual clarity and salvation. hear with their ears,
Hearing with ears signifies the ability to comprehend and accept God's word. In the biblical narrative, hearing is often linked to obedience and faith (Romans 10:17). The phrase implies that if the people were willing to listen, they could receive divine truth and guidance. This is a call to be attentive to God's voice, as exemplified by the Shema inDeuteronomy 6:4, which emphasizes the importance of hearing and obeying God. understand with their hearts,
Understanding with the heart denotes a deep, internal comprehension that goes beyond intellectual knowledge. In Hebrew thought, the heart is the center of emotion, will, and intellect. This understanding leads to transformation and aligns one's life with God's will. The phrase echoes the promise of a new heart and spirit found inEzekiel 36:26, highlighting the transformative power of God's word when truly understood. and turn,
Turning signifies repentance, a fundamental concept in both the Old and New Testaments. It involves a change of direction, turning away from sin and towards God. This action is essential for reconciliation with God and is a central message of the prophets and the teachings of Jesus (Matthew 4:17). Repentance is the first step towards spiritual renewal and healing. and I would heal them.
Healing here refers to spiritual restoration and salvation. God's promise to heal is contingent upon the people's willingness to repent and turn to Him. This healing is not just physical but encompasses the whole being, restoring the relationship between God and humanity. The concept of divine healing is prevalent throughout Scripture, from the physical healings performed by Jesus to the ultimate healing of sin through His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:5). This promise underscores God's desire for reconciliation and wholeness for His people. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Much like Pharaoh inExodus 8–10 or the Israelites inPsalm 95:8, persistent unbelief has produced a crust over the inner life. • The callousness is self-inflicted;Hebrews 3:12–13 warns that sin’s deceitfulness can “harden” anyone who continually resists God. • It is also judicial;Romans 11:7–8 explains that God hands over those who refuse Him to their own blindness. • The context ofActs 28 shows Paul quotingIsaiah 6:9–10 to Jewish leaders who rejected the gospel; their historical pattern of unbelief now culminates in rejecting Christ.
They hardly hear with their ears“they hardly hear with their ears” speaks of deliberate inattentiveness. • Jesus repeats the line inMatthew 13:15 when explaining why parables conceal truth from hearers who will not truly listen. •Ezekiel 12:2 describes a people “who have ears to hear but do not hear,” showing that the problem is moral, not intellectual. • The phrase underscores personal responsibility;2 Timothy 4:3 warns that people will gather teachers who say what their itching ears want to hear.
They have closed their eyes“and they have closed their eyes” moves from hearing to sight—another God-given faculty shut down by willful rebellion. •John 12:37–40 blendsIsaiah 6 into the account of crowds who refused to believe even after seeing signs. • Closing the eyes is active: unlike someone merely blind, these individuals choose darkness over light (John 3:19–20). • Spiritual perception dies when one repeatedly rejects revealed truth.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes“Otherwise they might see with their eyes” highlights God’s gracious intent. • The Father is “not willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9); He desires that hardened people regain sight. •Numbers 21:8-9 shows that looking in faith (at the bronze serpent) brings life—a pattern fulfilled in Christ (John 3:14-15).
Hear with their ears“hear with their ears” reaffirms that salvation comes through hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). •Acts 16:14 illustrates this: the Lord “opened” Lydia’s heart so “she listened” to Paul’s message. •Revelation 2–3 repeatedly urges, “He who has an ear, let him hear,” signaling that hearing and obeying are inseparable.
Understand with their hearts, and turn“understand with their hearts, and turn” describes repentance—an inward grasp of truth that produces an outward response. •Proverbs 2:2-5 links understanding with a heart set on wisdom; when the mind and will align with God, change follows. •1 Thessalonians 1:9 depicts turning “from idols to serve the living and true God,” the kind of shift Isaiah and Paul long for.
And I would heal them“and I would heal them” promises restoration for any who repent. •Isaiah 57:15-19 shows God reviving the contrite and “healing” their waywardness. •Psalm 103:3 praises the Lord who “heals all your diseases,” emphasizing complete spiritual renewal. • InActs 3:19, Peter assures that times of refreshing follow repentance—the very hope still offered to Paul’s audience.
summaryActs 28:27, echoingIsaiah 6:9-10, reveals a tragic cycle: chosen people harden their hearts, refuse to hear and see, and thus forfeit healing. Yet the verse simultaneously showcases God’s desire to restore; if they would listen, look, understand, and repent, He stands ready to heal. The warning is clear, but so is the invitation: receptive hearts receive sight, hearing, and life through Christ. Verse 27.- This people's heart for the heart of this people, A.V.; they have for have they, A.V.; lest haply they should perceive for lest they should see, A.V.; turn again for be con-vetted, A.V. This people's heart, etc. So the LXX. But the Hebrew has the imperative form, "make fat.," "make heavy.... shut," in the prophetical style (comp. Jeremiah 1:10). They have closed ( ἐκάμμυσαν). The verb καμμύω, contracted from καταμύω ( μύω, to close, from the action of the lips in pronouncing the sound μυ), means "to shut" or "close" the eyes. It is found repeatedly in the LXX., and, in the form καταμύω, in classical writers. The word "mystery" is etymologically connected with it. The word here expresses the willfulness of their unbelief: "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life."
