Jesus Cures a Deaf Man

By Junchol Lee


Ut pergas pasco dum audis, audi in fenestra nova.

In all the stories of Jesus’s miracles found in the Gospels, one thing that I notice over and over again is that he only heals those who either happen to be found on his way and cry out to him or those who have been brought before him by caring hands. In Mark 7, Jesus heals a man with deafness, a man who also struggles with a speech impairment due to his deafness. What is the significance of this story, why has it been included in the Gospels and read by humanity for many thousands of years?
