Mark 7:35 |
Next Verse |
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
Note 1 at Mr 7:35: There are three other instances recorded in Scripture when Jesus healed dumbness (Mt 9:32-33, 12:22; Mr 9:25; and Lu 11:14 [same instance as Mt 9:32-33]). There is only one other instance of deafness and dumbness being healed at the same time (Mr 9:25). In these three examples, demons were cast out to effect the cure. In this case, it is not clear that a demon was present. The Greek word "DESMON," used for "string" in this verse, might imply demonic activity, as in the other examples.
