7:31 耶穌又離了泰爾的境界，經過西頓，就從低加坡里境內來到加利利海。
7:32 有人帶著一個耳聾舌結的人來見耶穌，求他按手在他身上。
7:33 耶穌領他離開眾人，到一邊去，就用指頭探他的耳朵，吐唾沫抹他的舌頭，
7:34 望天歎息，對他說：「以法大！」就是說：「開了吧！」
7:35 他的耳朵就開了，舌結也解了，說話也清楚了。
7:36 耶穌囑咐他們不要告訴人；但他越發囑咐，他們越發傳揚開了。
7:37 眾人分外希奇，說：「他所做的事都好，他連聾子也叫他們聽見，啞巴也叫他們說話。」
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.[h] 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

聾和啞常常會集中在一個人身上，因為聽不見就不會說話。然而主耶穌碰到這一個又聾又啞的人，不僅讓他聽見也讓他馬上說話！所以，人對主耶穌奇妙的作為稱讚說：「他所做的事都好，他連聾子也叫他們聽見，啞巴也叫他們說話。」
主耶穌不僅可以改變聾啞人的生命，更可以改變我們的生命！他的救贖在我們身上的作為，就是救我們脫離罪和死的權勢，賜給我們生命和聖靈，使我們從滅亡的道路轉向永生的道路！
我們看見那位聾啞人被醫好之後，不斷向人做見證主耶穌的作為，我們也要常常把握機會宣揚基督在我們身上的作為！就像保羅說：「但我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架；因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。」(加拉太書6:14)
