'Listen to Me' in the Bible

He called the people to him again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand this.

though I knew that you always listen to me. But I have said this for the sake of the people that are standing around me that they may believe that you have made me your messenger."

When they finished James made this response: "Brothers, listen to me.

especially because you are so familiar with all the Jewish customs and questions. I beg you, therefore, to listen to me with patience.

In the Law it says, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of foreigners I will speak to this nation, and not even then will they listen to me, says the Lord."
