ରେରିତମାନଙ୍କ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟର ବିବରଣ 28:27
ହଁ, ଏଠାରେ ଏହି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମନ କଠୋର ହୋଇ ଯାଇଛି। ଏ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର କାନ ଅଛି କିନ୍ତୁ ଏମାନେ ଶୁଣିପାରୁ ନାହାନ୍ତି। ଏମାନେ ସତ୍ୟ କଥା ଦେଖିବା ପାଇଁ ଆଖି ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଦେଉଛନ୍ତି। ନ ହେଲେ ହୁଏତ ସେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଆଖିରେ ଦେଖି ପାରନ୍ତେ, କାନରେ ଶୁଣି ପାରନ୍ତେ ଓ ବୁଝି ପାରନ୍ତେ। ଏହା ଦ୍ୱାରା, ସେମାନେ ମନ ଫେରାଇ ମୋ’ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସନ୍ତେ ଓ ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରନ୍ତି।
