From Google AI Mode

Observation Questions
• The Journey:
Trace Jesus' path in verse 31. Why might he have taken such a long, indirect route through Sidon to reach the Sea of Galilee?
• The Request: Who brought the man to Jesus, and what specifically did they "beg" Jesus to do for him?
• The Method: Identify the specific actions Jesus takes in verses 33–34. How do these actions differ from his other miracles?
• The Language: What is the meaning of the Aramaic word "Ephphatha"?
• The Command: What instruction did Jesus give to the crowd afterward, and how did they respond?

Interpretation Questions
• Privacy:
Why did Jesus take the man away from the crowd to heal him privately? What does this reveal about his concern for the man's dignity?
• Senses: Since the man was deaf, how might Jesus' physical actions (touching ears, spitting, looking to heaven) have served as "sign language" to communicate what he was about to do?
• The Sigh: Verse 34 mentions Jesus "sighed deeply." What does this groan suggest about his emotional response to human suffering and brokenness?
• Prophetic Connection: Compare verse 37 with Isaiah 35:5-6. How does this miracle identify Jesus as the Messiah?
• Creation Imagery: How do Jesus' actions (using spit and touch) echo the Genesis 2:7 account of God forming man from the dust?

Application Questions
• Spiritual Deafness:
In what ways can a person be "spiritually deaf" today? What prevents us from hearing God’s voice?
• Intercession: The man was brought to Jesus by others. Who in your life needs you to "bring them to Jesus" through prayer or invitation?
• Trusting the Method: Jesus healed this man differently than he healed others. How can you trust God when He chooses to work in your life in an unexpected or "strange" way?
• Proclamation: The crowd could not stop talking about what Jesus had done. What has God done in your life that you find it difficult to keep silent about?
• Compassion: How can we better support individuals in our own communities who feel marginalized or "voiceless"?
