THE MESSIAH FORETOLD Today’s story of the cure of a deaf man with a speech impedi-ment is a good example of how much is contained in a simple miracle story. The Greek word mogilalos appears only here in all of the New Testament. It is a technical term referring to someone with a stam-mer. It is also used only once in the en re Jewish scriptures, in the passage that we read today as our first reading from Isaiah. Clearly, by his choice of this precise word Mark wants us to recognize that what Jesus is doing is the fulfillment of what Isaiah had predicted centuries earlier. In fact, Mark wants us to recognize that Jesus is the Messiah foretold by Isaiah and the other Jewish prophets of old.

The word ephphatha, “be opened,” used to describe the resto-ra on of the man’s speech, is another example of a subtle allusion to an earlier prophecy. This me the prophecy in ques on is from Ezekiel, when he foretells that in the messianic age, “your mouth shall be opened to speak” (24:26). The sophis ca on of Mark’s nar-ra ve is further revealed when we realize that there are mul ple levels within a single reference. Mark not only draws our a en on back to Israel’s prophe c past, he also points to the ini atory prac-

ce of his contemporaries by his men on of such things as spi le, touching of ears, and the use of the word ephphatha, all of which were prac ces incorporated into the early Church’s bap smal ritual.
