What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Titus of Bostra
But the Lord not hearing his words, but perceiving his thoughts, showed Himself to be the Lord of Prophets, as it follows, And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto thee.
Western Saints
Bonaventure

In seeking out the general judgment, he proceeds in this order. For he arouses the Pharisee's attention, introduces the question, and approves the response. …
Glossa Ordinaria
And this indeed He spake in answer to his thoughts; and the Pharisee was made more attentive by these words of our Lord, as it is said, And he saith, Master, say on.
