Mark 7:36-37

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:36

‘And he charged them that they should tell no man, but the more he charged them the more they spread it widely (published it a great deal).’ The restoration in this manner was intended to be a lesson to the disciples, while the miracle was for the man’s own good. But Jesus did not want great crowds coming for miracles. So He firmly requested the people there that they would not tell others about it. But what He asked is contrary to what men are, and they went out and told everyone they knew... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:31-37

Mark 7:31-Haggai : . The Healing of a Deaf-Mute.— The cure of the Syro-Phœ nician woman’ s daughter threatens the privacy Jesus sought in Tyre. He therefore withdraws to Decapolis (another Gentile district, Matthew 4:25 *), going northward through Sidon, and presumably reaching Decapolis by a circuitous route which avoided Galilee. (Wellhausen’ s conjecture, Bethsaida for Sidon, is unnecessary.) The incident that follows is peculiar to Mk. Jesus heals a deaf-mute, by means not unusual in that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 7:31-37

This history is recorded by Mark only. And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. We heard, Mark 7:24, of his going into those coasts; some think that our Saviour did not go out of the Jewish country, though he went to the coasts of Tire and Sidon, which were pagan countries. He came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. That Decapolis was a union of ten cities so called, is plain by the name; but what those cities were, and whether they lay on the... read more

This man’s deafness had rendered him hard-of-speech, scarcely able to articulate intelligibly.Mark 7:34. Ephphatha.—The actual Aramaic word used. “Be thou opened—it is the man who is addressed; it was he who needed to be corporeally opened to the ingress of sounds, and to the ready egress of words.”Mark... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 7:32-37

Mark 7:32-37 The Deaf and Dumb. I. Our Lord healed the deaf and dumb man miraculously, by means at which we cannot guess, which we cannot even conceive. But the healing signified at least two things that the man could be healed, and that the man ought to be healed; that his bodily defect the retribution of no sin of his own was contrary to the will of that Father in heaven who willeth not that one little one should perish. But Jesus sighed likewise. There was in Him a sorrow, a compassion, most... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 7:37

Mark 7:37 Low Estimate of the Church's Work. Let us compare the danger, to which we are open, of taking a low estimate of the Church with the popular view once taken of the ministry of our Blessed Lord. I. There were few, when He was alive on earth, who came to Him in the spirit of Nicodemus, seeking truth. The greater number followed, like the multitude at Capernaum, not because they saw His miracle, but because they ate of the loaves and were filled. Two of the disciples owned how they were... read more

DISCOURSE: 1430THE DEAF AND DUMB MAN HEALEDMark 7:32-36. And they bring unto hint one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; 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 tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain; and he... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 7:1-37

Chapter 7Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem ( Mark 7:1 ).They came on up from Jerusalem to the area of Galilee.And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 7:1-37

Mark 7:3 . The pharisees, and all the jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not. Their traditionary laws, which enjoined all possible corporeal purity, were built on the notion that a person might unconsciously have touched something unclean. They washed their hands as far as the wrist, literally the fist. It is some credit to revelation that those were laws of tradition, imposed as maxims of the wise. Yet we cannot deny, that they obtained in various forms through the whole of Shem’s... read more
