Our series through the teachings of Jesus brought us to a passage in Matthew 7:28 which revealed an amazement by the "hearers." This passage is the third of four passages where this word occurs following an interaction that Jesus had with a group of people.

In this passage Jesus restores hearing (ears) and speech (tongue) to a man that is both mute and deaf. Although several friends ask Jesus to put His hands on him to heal their friend, Jesus takes the man away to a private place and heals him.
