Commentary

Commentary on Mark 7:35

Theological / Devotional

String. Gr. desmos, “a bond,” or “a band.” This does not necessarily imply any defect in the man’s organs of speech, though this may be the meaning.

Plain. Gr. orthōs, “straightly,” “rightly,” or “correctly.” This clearly implies that the man had been able to speak, but so indistinctly as to be understood only with difficulty.
