In Mark 2:12, the healed man rises and walks — both accounts show an immediate physical response to Jesus' power, stunning onlookers.

Psalm 33:9 describes creation by God's command — Jesus' 'Ephphatha' similarly brings about instant change, echoing divine creative speech.

Isaiah 32:3 promises unstopped ears — Jesus' healing fulfills this prophecy of restored hearing in the messianic age.

Isaiah 35:5 prophesies that the ears of the deaf will be unstopped — Jesus fulfills this messianic promise here.

Isaiah 35:6 says the tongue of the mute will sing — Jesus healing the man's speech directly fulfills that prophecy.

Matthew 11:5 lists 'the deaf hear' as a sign of the Messiah — this healing matches that sign precisely.

Matthew 12:22 records Jesus healing a mute man — another instance of the same kind of miracle, though there the man was also blind.
