What does the Bible say about Jesus healing the deaf mute?

Answered in 1 source

In Mark 7:31-37, Jesus heals a deaf mute, symbolizing His sovereignty and ability to grant spiritual hearing and speech.

In Mark 7:31-37, we see a profound illustration of Christ's sovereign power as He heals a man who was both deaf and mute. The narrative emphasizes not just the miraculous act, but what it signifies about Jesus's authority over spiritual ailments. This man’s inability to hear and speak represents the state of all unregenerate sinners who are deaf to the voice of God and unable to articulate the gospel. The miracle illustrates that Jesus came to restore not only physical disabilities but to bring spiritual life to those who are dead in sins. By saying 'Ephrathah,' which means 'be opened,' Jesus demonstrates that He has the power to enable us to hear His word and declare His praises.
