Mark 7:17-37 BSB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:31

And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon ,.... The Vulgate Latin version reads, "and coming out again from the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon"; and so two of Beza's copies; the Arabic version, which De Dieu made use of reads "to Sidon"; as he must needs come to it, if he came through it; though the version in the Polyglot Bible of Walton's reads, מין , "from Sidon": but the greater number of copies, and the Syriac and Persic versions read as we do, and which is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:32

And they bring unto him one that was deaf ,.... There were two sorts of persons that were called deaf among the Jews; one that could neither hear nor speak; such were they who were born deaf; and so having never heard any thing, it was impossible they should ever speak: the other sort were they that could speak, but not hear; who lost their hearing by some disaster or another, but retained their speech F3 Mish. Trumot, c. 1. sect. 2. & Maimon. & Bartenora in ib. : of this sort... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:33

And he took him aside from the multitude ,.... To shun all appearance of ostentation and vain glory: and put his fingers into his ears ; the finger of his right hand into his left ear, and the finger of his left hand into his right ear: and he spit and touched his tongue ; that is, either he spit upon his tongue, for so the Vulgate Latin renders it, "spitting he touched his tongue"; and the Persic version thus, "he cast his spittle on his tongue"; or rather, he spit on his finger,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:34

And looking up to heaven ,.... To his Father there, by whom he was sent, and from whom, as man, he received his authority and power; though this was not for assistance in the working of this miracle, which he had power to do of himself; nor do we find that he put up any request to his Father: but he seems to have made use of this motion, not for his own sake, but for the sake of the man: to teach him, that every good gift, blessing, mercy, and favour, and so this he was about to partake of,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:35

And straightway his ears were opened ,.... It is in the Greek text, "his hearings"; the instruments of his hearing, and so rightly rendered, "his ears": the Persic version reads, "both his ears"; but the word "both" is unnecessary, since the word, "ears", takes in both. Such a power went along with the words of Christ, when he said, "be opened"; that immediately, as soon as ever the words were pronounced, the man's hearing came to him, and he heard as quick as ever he did before he lost it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:36

And he charged them ,.... The man that had his hearing and speech restored to him, and those that brought him, and as many as were witnesses of the miracle: that they should tell no man ; of the cure that was wrought, being not desirous of the applause of men; and knowing it would bring upon him the envy of the Scribes and Pharisees; and be a means of putting the common people upon setting him up as a temporal king, such as they expected the Messiah would be: but the more he charged... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 7:37

And were beyond measure astonished ,.... The man that was cured, the men that brought him, and the whole multitude were exceedingly, beyond all expression, amazed at what was done, in this case, and many others; for there were other miracles also wrought at this time; see Matthew 15:30 . The grace of God, in opening the ears and heart of a sinner, and causing the tongue of the dumb to sing his praise, is very astonishing, to men and angels; to the persons themselves that partake of it; and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:19

Into the draught - See on Matthew 15:17 ; (note). Purging all meats? - For what is separated from the different aliments taken into the stomach, and thrown out of the body, is the innutritious parts of all the meats that are eaten; and thus they are purged, nothing being left behind but what is proper for the support of the body. read more
