Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute

31 ^aAgain, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

32 Then ^athey brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and ^aHe spat and touched his tongue.

34 Then, ^alooking up to heaven, ^bHe sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”

35 ^aImmediately his ears were opened, and the¹ impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

<< Mark 7:32

Mark 7:34 >>

Mark 7:33 Put his fingers into his ears. The manner of the Lord in this miracle was peculiar. I understand that he used signs instead of words in order to arouse faith in the deaf man. He touched the organs that had lost their office and then looked to heaven. This would be deeply significant to one who had learned to understand by signs.
