Mark 4:9

And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!” ¹ 

Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

And He was saying, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

"Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!"

"Are you listening to this? Really listening?"

And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear.

And he said, "Let anyone with ears to hear listen!"

And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!” ¹ 

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; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:23; Luke 8:8, 14:35).
