mark 7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. - Free Bible Online

mark 7:34 and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"


      34. And looking up to heaven--ever acknowledging His Father, even while the healing was seen to flow from Himself (see on Joh 5:19).
      he sighed--"over the wreck," says TRENCH, "which sin had brought about, and the malice of the devil in deforming the fair features of God's original creation." But, we take it, there was a yet more painful impression of that "evil thing and bitter" whence all our ills have sprung, and which, when "Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses" (Mt 8:17), became mysteriously His own.


"In thought of these his brows benign,
Not even in healing, cloudless shine."
                                            KEBLE

      and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened--Our Evangelist, as remarked on Mr 5:41, loves to give such wonderful words just as they were spoken.
