This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Will turn away their ears (tēn akoēn apostrepsousin). Future active of old verb apostrephō. See 1Co 12:17 for this use of akoē. The people stopped their ears and rushed at Stephen in Act 7:57.
Will turn aside (ektrapēsontai). Second future passive of ektrepō. They prefer “myths” to “the truth” as some today turn away to “humanism,” “bolshevism,” “new thought” or any other fad that will give a new momentary thrill to their itching ears and morbid minds.
