They will certainly hear (pantwv akousontai). Pantwv is old adverb, by all means, altogether, wholly, certainly as here and Acts 28:4; Luke 4:23; I Corinthians 9:10. This future middle of akouw is the usual form instead of akousw. There was no way to conceal Paul's arrival nor was it wise to do so. B C and several cursives omit dei plhqov sunelqein (The multitude must needs come together).
