Making the Deaf Hear and the Dumb Speak
A group of men brought their friend to Jesus because he could not hear or speak. They begged Jesus to heal him.
Jesus took the man away from the crowd and gently communicated through signs so he would understand. He touched the mans ears and tongue and looked up to heaven in prayer.
Then Jesus said, Ephphatha, meaning Be opened. Immediately, the man was healed and could hear and speak clearly. The people were amazed at Jesus power.
