Hebrews 3:8Easy To Read Versiondon’t be stubborn like in the past,\par when you were against God.\par That was the day you tested God\par in the desert.\par See the chapter |
Zedekiah turned against King Nebuchadnezzar. In the past Nebuchadnezzar forced Zedekiah to make a promise to be faithful to Nebuchadnezzar. Zedekiah used God’s name and promised to be faithful to Nebuchadnezzar. But Zedekiah was very stubborn and refused to change his life and come back and obey the Lord God of Israel.
Yes, the minds of these people\par (the Jews) are now closed.\par They have ears,\par but they don’t listen.\par And they refuse to see \{the truth\}.\par If their minds were not closed,\par they might see with their eyes;\par they might hear with their ears;\par they might understand with their minds.\par Then they might turn back to me and be healed.\par \i (Isaiah 6:9-10)\i0 \par
But some of the Jews became stubborn. They refused to believe. These Jews said some very bad things about the Way \{of Jesus\}. All the people heard these things. So Paul left those Jews and took the followers \{of Jesus\} with him. Paul went to a place where a man named Tyrannus had a school. There Paul talked with people every day.
