Mark 7:31-37 -- 31Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 32There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man. 33After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. 34He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!"). 35At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. 36Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
Observation:
• Where did Jesus travel?
• Who did the people bring to Jesus?
• What did Jesus do next? What happened to the man?
• What did Jesus command the people to do?
• What did the people say about Jesus?
Application:
• Why do you think Jesus healed the man in this way?
• Why do you think Jesus commanded the people not to tell anyone what happened to the man?
• Why is it significant that Jesus has the power to heal people?
