Hebrews 5:11

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

We have so much we want to tell you about this, but it's honestly hard to explain because you're not really listening or getting it.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes the problem isn't that the truth is too complicated, it's that we're not ready to hear it.

📚 Historical Context

The Book of Hebrews was written to early Jewish Christians who were facing persecution and tempted to abandon their faith in Christ for the familiar practices of Judaism. The author is addressing their spiritual laziness, noting that they had been believers long enough to teach others but were still stuck on basic principles. This verse specifically warns that their "dullness of hearing" made it difficult for the author to explain deeper truths about Jesus as the great high priest.
