2. What did Jesus say and what does it mean (27)? Why do you think Jesus said such a harsh thing to her? What does her response show about her attitude toward Jesus (28)? How did Jesus bless her reply (29-30)? What can we learn here about Jesus?

3. Where did Jesus go next and who was brought to him (31-32)? Consider his challenges being deaf and mute. What unusual things did Jesus do to heal him (33-34)? What could “Ephphatha!” mean to Jesus’ disciples and us (Mk 4:23-24)? What happened (35)?
