“And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;”
King James Version (KJV)
7:33 He put his fingers into his ears - Perhaps intending to teach us, that we are not to prescribe to him (as they who brought this man attempted to do) but to expect his blessing by whatsoever means he pleases: even though there should be no proportion or resemblance between the means used, and the benefit to be conveyed thereby.
Mr 7:33 Put his fingers into his ears. The manner of the Lord in this miracle was peculiar. I understand that he used signs instead of words in order to arouse faith in the deaf man. He touched the organs that had lost their office and then looked to heaven. This would be deeply significant to one who had learned to understand by signs.
And he tooke him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his eares, and he spit, and touched his tongue,
