“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Jesus then finishes His words concerning these things by calling on all whose ears were open to take notice of what He was saying. This in itself confirms that He did not expect that all would hear and respond. He was always aware that the flock to whom the Kingly Rule was being given would be a small one (Luke 12:32). But it was important that all be urged to hear, with the inherent warning of the danger of not genuinely hearing. For this phrase see also Matthew 13:9; Matthew 13:43.
