قَائِلاً: اذْهَبْ إِلَى هذَا الشَّعْبِ وَقُلْ: سَتَسْمَعُونَ سَمْعًا وَلاَ تَفْهَمُونَ، وَسَتَنْظُرُونَ نَظَرًا وَلاَ تُبْصِرُونَ.

Hearing, ye shall hear, &c.--(See on Mat 13:13-15 and Joh 12:38-40). With what pain would this stern saying be wrung from him whose "heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel was that they might be saved," and who "had great heaviness and continual sorrow in his heart" on their account (Rom 10:1; Rom 9:2)!

We have attended him through several chapters from one judgment-seat to another, and could at last have taken leave of him with the more pleasure if we had left him at liberty; but in this chapter we are to condole with him, and yet congratulate him. I. We condole with him as a poor shipwrecked passenger, stripped of all; and yet congratulate him, 1. As singularly owned by his God in his distress, preserved himself from receiving hurt by a viper that fastened on his hand (Act 28:1-6), and being made an instrument of much good in the island on which they were cast, in healing many that were sick, and particularly the father of Publius, the chief man of the island (Act 28:7-9). 2. As much respected by the people there (Act 28:10). II. We condole with him as a poor confined prisoner, carried to Rome under the notion of a criminal removed by "habeas corpus" (Act 28:11-16), and yet we congratulate him, 1. Upon the respect shown him by the Christians at Rome, who came a great way to meet him (Act 28:15). 2. Upon the favour he found with the captain of the guard, into whose custody he was delivered, who suffered him to dwell by himself, and did not put him in the common prison (Act 28:16). 3. Upon the free conference he had with the Jews at Rome, both about his own affair (Act 28:17-22) and upon the subject of the Christian religion in general (Act 28:23), the issue of which was that God was glorified, many were edified, the rest left inexcusable, and the apostles justified in preaching the gospel to the Gentiles (Act 28:2…

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ، الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لِيَنْظُرُوا وَلاَ يَنْظُرُونَ. لَهُمْ آذَانٌ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَلاَ يَسْمَعُونَ، لأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.
لِكَيْ يُبْصِرُوا مُبْصِرِينَ وَلاَ يَنْظُرُوا، وَيَسْمَعُوا سَامِعِينَ وَلاَ يَفْهَمُوا، لِئَلاَّ يَرْجِعُوا فَتُغْفَرَ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ».
حِينَئِذٍ فَتَحَ ذِهْنَهُمْ لِيَفْهَمُوا الْكُتُبَ.
اِسْمَعْ هذَا أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الْجَاهِلُ وَالْعَدِيمُ الْفَهْمِ، الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ وَلاَ يُبْصِرُونَ. لَهُمْ آذَانٌ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُونَ.
فَقَالَ:«لَكُمْ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَسْرَارَ مَلَكُوتِ اللهِ، وَأَمَّا لِلْبَاقِينَ فَبِأَمْثَال، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مُبْصِرِينَ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ، وَسَامِعِينَ لاَ يَفْهَمُونَ.
فَقَالَ لَهُمَا:«أَيُّهَا الْغَبِيَّانِ وَالْبَطِيئَا الْقُلُوبِ فِي الإِيمَانِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءُ!
وَلكِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِكُمُ الرَّبُّ قَلْبًا لِتَفْهَمُوا، وَأَعْيُنًا لِتُبْصِرُوا، وَآذَانًا لِتَسْمَعُوا إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَخْتَارُ مَصَائِبَهُمْ، وَمَخَاوِفَهُمْ أَجْلِبُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا. بَلْ عَمِلُوا الْقَبِيحَ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَاخْتَارُوا مَا لَمْ أُسَرَّ بِهِ».
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ سَكَبَ عَلَيْكُمْ رُوحَ سُبَاتٍ وَأَغْمَضَ عُيُونَكُمُ. الأَنْبِيَاءُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُكُمُ النَّاظِرُونَ غَطَّاهُمْ.
لِذلِكَ هأَنَذَا أَعُودُ أَصْنَعُ بِهذَا الشَّعْبِ عَجَبًا وَعَجِيبًا، فَتَبِيدُ حِكْمَةُ حُكَمَائِهِ، وَيَخْتَفِي فَهْمُ فُهَمَائِهِ».
