Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute
31 Again,
departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the
midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee. 32 Then
they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his
speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. 33 And
He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his
ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. 34 Then,
looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that
is, “Be opened.”
35 Immediately
his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed,
and he spoke plainly. 36 Then
He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He
commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 And
they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all
things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
(Mark 7:31-37)
Feeding the Four Thousand
8 In those days, the multitude being very great and having
nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and
said to them, 2 “I
have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued
with Me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 And
if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on
the way; for some of them have come from afar.”
4 Then
His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with
bread here in the wilderness?”
5 He
asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”And they said, “Seven.”
6 So
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the
seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and
gave them to His disciples to set before them; and
they set them before the multitude. 7 They
also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set
them also before them. 8 So
they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of
leftover fragments. 9 Now
those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them
away, 10 immediately
got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of
Dalmanutha.
(Mark 8:1-1O)
A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida
22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they
brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He
took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when
He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he
saw anything.
24 And he looked up and said, “I see
men like trees, walking.”
25 Then He put His hands on his eyes
again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone
clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go
into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.” (Mark 8:22-26)
A Boy Is Healed
14 And when He came to the disciples,
He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with
them. 15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly
amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. 16 And He asked the scribes,
“What are you discussing with them?”
17 Then one of the crowd answered and
said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And
wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth,
gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples,
that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19 He answered him and said, “O
faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I
bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him.
And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he
fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 So He asked his father, “How long
has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood. 22 And
often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to
destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and
help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can
believe,[a] all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child
cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came
running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf
and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no
more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and
came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He
is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and
he arose. (Mark 9:14-27)
Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus
46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went
out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind
Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when
he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say,
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Then many warned him to be quiet;
but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 So Jesus stood still and commanded
him to be called.
Then they called the blind man, saying
to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.”
50 And throwing aside his garment, he
rose and came to Jesus'
51 So Jesus answered and said to him,
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni,
that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your
way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his
sight and followed Jesus on the road. (Mark 10:46-52)
The Fig Tree Withered
12 Now
the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was
hungry. 13 And
seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps
He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing
but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In
response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever
again.”
And His disciples heard it.
(Mark 11:12-14)

Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world's hostility and social problems!
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
