Mark 7

Verses 31 – 37

Jesus is on the move again. He is leaving the area of Tyre and Sidon. He travels through the middle of the region of Decapolis, (Deca means ten. Decapolis is a region of ten cities). As He ends up at the Sea of Galilee.

Verse 32
Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

Again everyplace Jesus goes people want Him to do something for them. Some people because they genuinely care for the person and want to see him get better. Others just want to see a miracle, some so they can tell others about how they were next to Jesus when he did a miracle, some are there because everyone else went and others who want to tell the religious rulers on Jesus.

Always keep in mind all four of the gospels contain just small amounts of the vast numbers of healings and other miracles Jesus did. All of the healings and the casting out of demons were miraculous. No one was capable of doing the same as Jesus but Jesus was mocked by the religious establishment for doing the miracles even though they could not.
