Such a power went along with the words of Christ, when he said, &#8220;be opened&#8221;; that immediately, as soon as ever the words were pronounced, the man&#8217;s hearing came to him, and he heard as quick as ever he did before he lost it, or, as any other man:<\/p>\n<p><strong>and the string of his tongue<\/strong>; which caused it to cleave to his jaws, or the roof of his mouth, and hindered him from speaking plainly,<\/p>\n<p><strong>was loosed, and he spake plain<\/strong>; , &#8220;easily&#8221;, as the Syriac version renders it; without any difficulty to himself, and so as to be readily understood by others. Thus those whose ears are opened, and whose tongues are loosed in a spiritual manner by Christ, speak plainly of what they have heard and seen, and felt; they can give a plain and clear account of the work of God upon their souls; how they have been convinced of the impurity of their nature, the corruptions of their hearts, and the exceeding sinfulness of sin, in heart, lip, and life; how they have seen Christ to be an all sufficient and suitable Saviour, and have been directed, and encouraged, to go to him, for healing, pardon, righteousness, and everlasting salvation; they can tell what promises have been applied to them, and what comforts they have enjoyed; how busy Satan has been with them; and what temptations of his they have been delivered out of, and by what means: in a word, they can speak plainly of the love of God to them; of the glories and excellencies of Christ; of their faith and hope in him, and love to him; and of the operations of the Spirit of God upon their hearts; and of the glories of the world to come, they are in the expectation of, so far as they are taught of God.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: John Gill&#8217;s Exposition of the Entire Bible<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><P> <B>He spake plain <\/B> (<span class='_800000'><SPAN LANG=\"el-GR\"> <\/SPAN><\/span>).
