Was JESUS making a joke here?
He who has ears?
Don’t we all have ears?
What does He mean?
He who has ears to HEAR.
This is my prayer focus today that my people, that I, will have ears to HEAR The LORD as He speaks to us.

20 The rest of mankind, those who were not killed by these plagues, even then did not turn from what they had made with their own hands — they did not stop worshipping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.21 Nor did they turn from their murdering, their involvement with the occult and with drugs, their sexual immorality or their stealing. source

Good Morning.
May I give you something to ponder?
Yeshua is speaking here with people who are well familiar with the Scrolls of Moses, all those GOD-breathed words preserved for them and for us.
45 “But don’t think that it is I who will be your accuser before the Father. Do you know who will accuse you? Moshe, the very one you have counted on! 46 For if you really believed Moshe, you would believe me; because it was about me that he wrote. 47 But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?” source
Scripture.
How do we read it?
Do we read it as the Books that will judge the conduct of mankind?
We should read it that way — don’t you think?
How does our day-to-day conduct line up with Scripture?
Will the Scripture exonerate us or condemn us when those Books are opened in Heaven?
Revelation 20:12 Complete Jewish Bible
12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done. source
Before closing, I am reminded of one more Scripture address.
Romans 8:1 Complete Jewish Bible
8 Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua. source
