Usage: The word κωφός is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are physically deaf or mute. It is often used in the context of Jesus' healing miracles, where He restores hearing and speech to those afflicted. Context: The term κωφός appears in several passages in the New Testament, often in the context of Jesus' ministry. In Matthew 9:32-33, a demon-possessed man who was mute is brought to Jesus, and upon casting out the demon, the man speaks. The crowd marvels, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." This passage highlights Jesus' authority over physical and spiritual afflictions.
