Mark 7: 31-37 - 'He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 1504 (in 'Christ the Physician') - Often Jesus asks the sick to believe. He makes use of signs to heal: spittle and the laying on of hands, mud and washing. The sick try to touch him, “for power came forth from him and healed them all.”And so in the sacraments Christ continues to “touch” us in order to heal us.

- 1151 (in 'Signs and Symbols') - Signs taken up by Christ. In his preaching the Lord Jesus often makes use of the signs of creation to make known the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. He performs healings and illustrates his preaching with physical signs or symbolic gestures. He gives new meaning to the deeds and signs of the Old Covenant, above all to the Exodus and the Passover, for he himself is the meaning of all these signs.

0:00.0	Hi everyone.
0:12.0	Welcome back to our podcast.
0:14.6	Thank you to all the regular listeners who tune in every day.
0:18.5	I hope you're getting a lot out of this podcast.
0:20.7	I certainly do as part of the
0:23.0	research that I do to get ready for this podcast. I think it's always really good to go back to the
0:28.1	literal sense of the scriptures. We should always start with that. What was the original author
0:32.6	trying to convey to his audience? And often we discover a whole level of richness that we never even have heard before.
0:39.6	And that's what this podcast is all about.
0:41.9	Today we're continuing in Mark.
0:44.1	We're in Mark chapter 7 verses 31 to 37.
0:50.1	Returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went by the way of Sidon towards the Sea of
0:55.7	Galilee, right through the Decapolis region, and they brought him a deaf man who had an
1:01.1	impediment in his speech, and they asked him to lay his hand on him.
1:06.7	He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, put his fingers in the man's ears,
1:12.1	and touched his tongue with spittle.
1:14.7	Then looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him,
1:19.5	"'Ephatha,' that is, be opened, and his ears were opened, and the ligament of his tongue
1:26.3	was loosened, and he spoke clearly.
1:29.4	And Jesus ordered them to tell no one about it.
1:32.4	But the more he insisted, the more widely they published it.
1:37.2	Their admiration was unbounded.
