Invite Someone to Jesus
That's the end of this homily.
In this Gospel, it isn't the deaf man who comes to Jesus. His friends bring him. Who are you bringing to Jesus with your life? Join us: https://htoh.us/subscribe Prayer Requests: prayers@htoh.us Support us: https://htoh.us/donate
Jesus left the district of Tyre
and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee,
into the district of the Decapolis.
And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment
and begged him to lay his hand on him.
He took him off by himself away from the crowd.
He put his finger into the man's ears
and, spitting, touched his tongue;
then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him,
"Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened!")
And immediately the man's ears were opened,
his speech impediment was removed,
and he spoke plainly.
