With the fist, Up to the elbow, Theophylact. Πυγμη [G4435], the fist; which Dr. Lightfoot illustrates by a tradition from the Talmudical tracts, that when they washed their hands, they washed the fist up to the joint of the arm. The Jews laid great stress on these washings, or baptisms, [G909], considering eating with unwashen hands no ordinary crime, and feigning that an evil spirit, called Shibta, has a right to sit on the food of him who thus eats, and render it hurtful.the tradition Mark 7:7-10, 7:13; Matthew 15:2-6; Galatians 1:14; Colossians 2:8, 2:21-23; 1 Peter 1:18 Reciprocal Matthew 3:7 - the Pharisees; 15:20 - but; Mark 1:22 - as the; 7:8 - the tradition; Luke 5:30 - General Verse 4 except Job 9:30, 9:31; Psalm 26:6; Isaiah 1:16; Jeremiah 4:14; Matthew 27:24; Luke 11:38, 11:39; John 2:6, 3:25; Habakkuk 3:1; James 4:8; 1 John 1:7 pots"Gr.

As the ears of the deaf appear closed, he applies his fingers to intimate that he would open them; and as the tongue of the dumb seems to be tied, or to cleave to the palate, he touches it, to intimate he would give loose and free motion to it. He accommodated himself to the weakness of those who might not indeed doubt his power, but fancy some external sign was requisite to healing. It was also thus made manifest, that this salutiferous power came from Himself, and that He who by one word, εφφαθα [G2188], had healed the man, must be Divine.Reciprocal Exodus 29:20 - put it upon the tip; 2 Kings 6:6 - he cut down; Isaiah 38:21 - For Isaiah; Matthew 20:34 - touched Verse 34 looking Mark 6:41; John 11:41, 17:1 he sighed Mark 8:12; Isaiah 53:3; Ezekiel 21:6, 21:7; Luke 19:41; John 11:33, 11:35, 11:38; Habakkuk 3:1 Ephphatha Mark 5:41, 15:34 Be opened 1:41; Luke 7:14, 18:42; John 11:43; Acts 9:34, 9:40 Reciprocal 2 Kings 6:6 - he cut down; Psalm 51:15 - open; Isaiah 42:18 - ye deaf; Matthew 8:3 - I will; 14:19 - looking; Luke 9:16 - and looking Verse 35 Mark 2:12; Psalm 33:9; Isaiah 32:3, 32:4, 35:5, 35:6; Matthew 11:5 Reciprocal 12:22 - he healed Verse 36 Mark 1:44, 1:45, 3:12, 5:43, 8:26 Reciprocal Matthew 8:4 - See; 9:31 - spread; 12:16 - General; Mark 1:43 - General; 8:30 - General Verse 37 were Mark 1:27, 2:12, 4:41, 5:42, 6:51; Psalm 139:14; Acts 2:7-12, 3:10-13, 14:11 He hath Genesis 1:31; Luke 23:41 he maketh Exodus 4:10, 4:11 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 3:36 - as; Ecclesiastes 3:11 - hath made; Isaiah 29:18 - the deaf; 32:3 - General; 52:14 - many; Matthew 8:27 - General; 9:8 - when; 11:5 - the deaf; 15:31 - the dumb; Mark 10:26 - out; Luke 4:36 - They were
