====Other healings==== The healing of a [[Healing a man with dropsy|man with dropsy]] is described in {{Bibleref2|Luke|14:1β6}}. In this miracle, Jesus cured a man with [[dropsy]] at the house of a prominent Pharisee on the Sabbath. Jesus justified the cure by asking, "If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?" In the [[Healing the man with a withered hand|healing of the man with a withered hand]],<ref>{{Bibleref2|Mt|12:10}}, {{Bibleref2|Mk|3:1β3}}, {{Bibleref2|Lk|6:6β8}}</ref> the Synoptics state that Jesus entered a [[synagogue]] on [[Biblical Sabbath|Sabbath]] and found a man with a withered hand, whom Jesus healed, having first challenged the people present to decide what was lawful for Sabbathβto do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill. The Gospel of Mark adds that this angered the [[Pharisees]] so much that they started to contemplate killing Jesus. The miraculous [[healing the deaf mute of Decapolis]] only appears in the Gospel of Mark.<ref>{{bibleverse|Mk|7:31β37||7:31β37}}</ref> Mark states that Jesus went to the [[Decapolis]], met a man there who was deaf and mute, and cured him. Specifically, Jesus first touched the man's ears, then touched his tongue after spitting, and then said, "[[Aramaic of Jesus#Ephphatha (αΌΟΟΞ±ΞΈΞ¬)|Ephphatha!]]", an [[Aramaic of Jesus|Aramaic]] word meaning "be opened"''.'' The miraculous [[Healing the centurion's servant|healing of a centurion's servant]] is reported in {{bibleref2|Matthew|8:5β13}} and {{bibleref2|Luke|7:1β10}}. These two Gospels narrate how Jesus healed the servant of a [[centurion]] in [[Capernaum]]. {{bibleref2|John|4:46β54}} has a similar account at Capernaum but states that it was [[Healing the royal official's son|the son of a royal official]] who was healed. In both cases the healing took place at a distance. [[Jesus healing in the land of Gennesaret]] appears in {{bibleref2|Matthew|14:34β36}} and {{bibleref2|Mark|6:53β56}}. As Jesus passes through [[Kinneret (archaeological site)|Gennesaret]] all those who touch his cloak are healed. {{Bibleref2|Matthew|9:35β36}} also reports that after the miracle of [[Jesus exorcising a mute]], Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. The [[Malchus|healing of Malchus]] was Christ's final miracle before his resurrection. [[Saint Peter|Simon Peter]] had cut off the ear of the High Priest's servant, Malchus, during the scene in the [[Garden of Gethsemane]]. Jesus restored the ear by touching it with his hand.
