Mark 4:23

You’ve all got ears, so you have to listen to me properly, and take notice of my words.”

Plain English Version

In The King James Version

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

In Context

22Well, just like that, God wants people to understand the things that are true. He will not hide them away. You see, there are some things that God hasn’t told anyone yet, but people will know them soon. It will be like a light will shine on them.

24Then Jesus said, “Make sure you listen to the right message and think about it properly. When you really take notice of a true message, God will help you understand it, and he will help you to know more and more of his word. But if you don’t want to listen to that message, God will stop you from understanding the little bit you did hear.”
