Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:31
And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.THE DEAF-MUTE MAN OF THE DECAPOLISThe journey of Jesus and his disciples traced in this verse was rather long and circuitous and fitted in with Jesus' purpose of privacy for the instruction of the Twelve and for avoidance of the territory controlled by his enemies. Tyre and Sidon were northwest of Jerusalem and the area of Decapolis was northeast.The... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:32
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.This indicates that many had believed the report of the former demoniac; and as a result, the people appealed to Christ on behalf of the deaf-mute. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:33
And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.He took him aside ... The evident reason for this action was that Jesus was required by the man's deafness to communicate with him in sign language; and the Lord definitely did not wish to permit the multitude to have any basis for supposing that his touching the man's ears and tongue, or... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:35
And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.The cure was accomplished completely by the Saviour's word of command. The prophecy of Isaiah 35:5-6 that "The ears of the deaf shall be unstopped ... and the tongue of the dumb sing" was fulfilled by the Son of God. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:36
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.The type of thing that Jesus had done was too great and wonderful to be hidden. The Lord truly desired less publicity; his very purpose for having come to that part of the world certainly was, at least partially, due to his desire for privacy; but unregenerated people had little regard for the Lord's desires. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 7:32-33
Mark 7:32-33. And had an impediment in his speech:— Μογιλαλον . He was not absolutely dumb, but stammered to such a degree, that few understood his speech, Mark 7:35. However, the circumstance of his being able to speak in any manner, shews that his deafness was not natural, but accidental. He had heard formerly, and had learned to speak; but was now deprived of hearing, perhaps, through some fault of his own, which might be the reason that Jesus sighed for grief when he cured him. The friends... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 7:34
Mark 7:34. And looking up to heaven,— Our Lord did this, that the deaf man, whom he could not instruct by language, might consider whence all benefits proceed. After this, he sighed. Perhaps the circumstances mentioned in the former note, or some others unknown to us, made this man a peculiar object of pity: or by the example of bodily deafness and dumbness, our Lord might be led to reflect on the spiritual deafness and dumbness of men; but whatever was the cause, Christ's sighing on this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 7:36
Mark 7:36. And he charged them, &c.— See on Matthew 8:4. Dr. Stanhope, in the 3rd vol. of his Comment. on the Epistles and Gospels, p. 397 assigns the following reasons for our Saviour's forbidding the publication of his miracles. 1. To avoid, as much as was possible, the envy and opposition of the Pharisees. 2. To secure his life from their malice, till the appointed time. 3. To prevent any sedition or tumults among the people. And, 4. To set us an example of humility, of doing good for... read more

straightway = immediately. See note on Mark 1:10 , Mark 1:12 . string = band. Not a physiological or technical ex pression, but the bond of demoniac influence which is thus indicated. The Papyri contain detailed prescriptions for "binding" a man; and cases are particu larly common in which a man's tongue is specially to be bound. See Prof. Deissmann's Light from the Ancient East, pp. 306-310. The Lord alludes to this in Luke 13:16 . loosed . The demoniac's fetters were loosed, and the work... read more
