Exegesis
The clause autoi kai akousontai {αὐτοὶ καὶ ἀκούσονται | au-toî kai akoúsontai} uses the intensive autoi to underscore “they themselves,” contrasting the Gentile reception with Jewish resistance implied earlier, and the future middle verb akousontai signals assured, responsive hearing.
In context — Acts 28:28
So you should know that this salvation of God has been sent out to the Gentiles, and they will listen .
