He who has ears, let him hear. The parable closes with the summons to spiritual hearing — the invitation to those who can hear at the level deeper than the agricultural story. The parable itself is a test of the soil: those who press Jesus for the meaning (like the disciples in verse 10) demonstrate the good-soil receptivity; those who hear and walk away demonstrate the path, rocky, or thorny soil.
