Exegesis
The final imperative akouetō {ἀκουέτω | a-kou-é-tō} is a third person command, “let him hear,” turning the description of capacity into a direct summons to respond. The structure moves from conjunction (kai) to iterative speech (elegen), to a conditional-like relative clause (hos ekhei ota akouein), and culminates in an imperative, creating rhetorical force that presses listeners from mere ability toward obedient, perceptive listening. In translation, the relative construction is rendered with “Whoever” and “If anyone” to reflect its inclusiveness, and the infinitive-imperative pairing is preserved with “ears to hear” and “let him hear / let them listen” to retain the emphasis on active, responsive hearing.
In context — Mark 4:9
And He was saying, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
