Mark 7:37 ESV

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 7:1-99

Mark 7 AS WE COMMENCE this chapter the opposition of the religious leaders again comes to light. The disciples, filled with labour as verse Mar_7:31 of the previous chapter has told us were not observing certain traditional washings, and this roused the Pharisees, who were the great sticklers for the tradition of the elders. The Lord accepted the challenge on behalf of the disciples, and answered by a searching exposure of the whole Pharisaic position. They were hypocrites, and He told them... read more

The healing: v. 33. And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His: fingers into his ears, and He spit, and touched his tongue; v. 34. and looking up to heaven, He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. v. 35. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. v. 36. And He charged them that they should tell no man; but the more He charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; v. 37. and were... read more

Mark 7:32-37(Parallel: Matthew 15:29-31) 32And they bring unto him one that was deaf,14 and had an impediment in his speech 33[a stammerer]; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his 34tongue: And, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that Isaiah , 35 Be opened.

a Mother’s Faith Rewarded Mark 7:24-37 Before faith can be fully exercised we must take the right attitude toward Christ. His mission at that time was to the Jewish people; they were the children. This woman had no claim as a child, and the question was whether she was prepared to take the lower place. It is the humble soul that has power with God, and when she showed herself prepared to put Jesus in His place as Lord, and to take her own place as willing to accept the children’s crumbs,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:1-37

In strong and clear language the Master denounced tradition as contrary to the commandment of God. 1. Things from without do not defile, and therefore are not sin. Temptation is not sin. 2. Only that is sin which comes from within, which is the deliberate outcome of the determining will of man. 3. Such determinings are the sources of defilement. 4. The list of evil things which the Master gives includes every possible form of evil, and these defile a man when they proceed from him in acts.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 7:37

THE TESTIMONY OF THE MULTITUDE‘He hath done all things well.’ Mark 7:37 Undoubtedly this is one of those comprehensive utterances in which there is more included than was intended by those from whose lips they originally proceeded. It applies:— I. To our Lord’s character.—He was not only without sin; He exemplified every virtue, and carried every virtue to its highest perfection. There were among His enemies those who were candid enough to acknowledge this. And in every age witness to the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:1-37

Jesus begins To Reach Out To Gentiles (7:1-8:21). At this stage in His ministry Jesus begins to reach out further afield, for from this point on He spends much time preaching in territory which is mainly Gentile, although still containing many Jews. He prepares His disciples for it by His words to the Scribes and Pharisees, and then to the people, on what is truly essential, and then moves on to Tyre and Sidon where a Syro-phoenician woman’s simple faith brings home the right of Gentiles to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:23-37

Jesus Ministers in Gentile Territory - the Syro-phoenician Woman - the Feeding of Four Thousand Men (7:23-8:26). Having made His point strongly Jesus now moved to Gentile territory and seemingly remained there until Mark 8:10, where after a brief visit to Galilee He again returned to Decapolis. But first he moved to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. Then from the borders of Tyre He travelled through Sidon down to the Sea of Galilee ‘through the midst of the borders of Decapolis’. All this was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:31-37

The Healing of the Deaf and Dumb Man (7:31-37). Continuing His ministry in Gentile territory Jesus entered the region of Decapolis where He had exorcised the Gadarene ex-demoniac and there performed a remarkable healing. His method of healing by using physical methods in a public way, draws attention to the unusualness of this incident (especially in the light of the previous healing at a distance) and we must ask if there was any special reason for it. When we consider the opening of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:37

‘And they were astonished above what can be measured, saying “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.” ’ The result was huge astonishment all round. This was the first experience they had had of Jesus. ‘He has done all things well’. Mark may intend here an echo of Genesis 1:31. ‘And God saw all that He had made and behold it was very good.’ The Creator was at work again. ‘He makes even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.’ Certainly we are to see... read more
