Mateo 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:9

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
] Not externally only, but internally; he that has ears given him to hear, so as to understand, let him make use of them, and seriously consider of, and diligently attend to the use and importance of this parable. It is a way of speaking used by Christ, when anything of moment was delivered, and not so easy to be understood, on purpose to quicken the attention of his auditors, and stir up in them a desire of understanding what was said; which effect this had upon his disciples; see ( Mark 4:10 ) ( Luke 8:9 ) .

Mateo 13:9 In-Context

7 Otra parte de la semilla cayó entre espinos que, al crecer, la ahogaron.

8 Pero las otras semillas cayeron en buen terreno, en el que se dio una cosecha que rindió treinta, sesenta y hasta cien veces más de lo que se había sembrado.

9 El que tenga oídos, que oiga».

10 Los discípulos se acercaron y le preguntaron:—¿Por qué le hablas a la gente en parábolas?

11 —A ustedes se les ha concedido conocer los secretos del reino de los cielos; pero a ellos no.
