What the Fathers say

Mark 4:23

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. That is, that none of those things which are said to you by me should escape you.

Catena Aurea by Aquinas ↗

Western Saints

Bede

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. If anyone has the understanding to perceive the word of God, let him not withdraw, let him not turn his hearing to fables, but diligently lend his ear to examining those things which the truth has spoken, diligently employ his hands in fulfilling those things which he has already understood, diligently subject his tongue to preaching those things opportunely and inopportunely.
