Matthew 13:9

Context
13:9 The one who has ears had better listen!” 1 

Matthew 13:16

Context

13:16 “But your eyes are blessed 2  because they see, and your ears because they hear.

1 tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15, 13:43; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8, 14:35).

2 sn This beatitude highlights the great honor bestowed on the disciples to share in this salvation.
