Jesus Heals A Deaf Man

Jesus Heals A Deaf Man Introduction

Jesus heals a deaf man is an amazing miracle in which Jesus helped a man to hear what people were saying. He was deaf and could not hear.

As usual, Jesus on a big adventure! He had been doing miracles in a city called Tyre. He then went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in an area called Decapolis.

Decapolis was a region in Israel with ten cities. The people living there spoke different languages.

Look at the map and point to the region of Decapolis in Galilee.

How Jesus healed the deaf man

While Jesus was in Decapolis, the people brought a man to Jesus. He couldn't hear like us and had trouble talking. They really wanted Jesus to help him!

Jesus responded by taking the man away from the busy crowd.

Next, He did some amazing things:

• First, He touched the man's ears. Was the Lord removing an obstruction? What do you think? 

• Secondly, Jesus used a little bit of spit and placed it on the man's tongue. Yuk! But was the Lord transferring new cellular structures to the man's speech organs? 

• Next, the Lord looked up at the sky, because He was asking His Father to help the man. 

• Finally, Jesus commanded the man's speech to open. He said, "Ephphatha, that is, Be opened." 

The man began to speak!

And guess what? The man began to hear and speak perfectly! It was like turning off his mute button and turning up the volume!

Everyone was amazed when they saw the miracle! They couldn't stop talking about how awesome Jesus was!

Jesus begged the people who brought the man not to tell anyone about the miracle. In spite of that, they spread the news everywhere!

Jesus heals a deaf man scriptures MARK 7: 31 - 37 NASB

31 Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

32 They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.

33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

34 and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, ``Ephphatha!" that is, ``Be opened!"

35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.

36 And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

37 They were utterly astonished, saying, ``He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
