Jesus leaves Tyre and Sidon, and goes to the Decapolis, a gentile region across the Sea of Galilee with ten cities. Immediately, he heals a deaf man, by touching his ears and tongue, and speaking 'be opened.' The people say 'he does everything well.' Crowds follow him into the wilderness, where he performs miracles and multiplies fish and bread. The numbers and symbolism of the multiplication paint a picture that the gospel, the break of life, and the body of Jesus, is for the whole world.  

Mark 7:31-37
Matthew 15:32-39
