Why do you think Jesus looked up to heaven and then sighed before the healing?
Maybe he was very tired exhausted after so many healings brought and all the multidudes following and proclaiming his healing powers ''he did not tell to say it as he was not looking for fame and some charlatans even for money but had to come from the conviction rooted in the people testifying with their eyes''. Pleading His father to concede him a moment for some prayerful rest ''restful prayer''? :'' By: Alessandra Parrini - July 21, 2007 - Public Category: The Healing of a Deaf and Mute Man

Have you never looked up to Heaven while praying, and been so overcome with the love that you feel, that the only response you have is to sigh? I believe that Jesus looked up to His Father, with compassion in His heart and for permission to heal. What He received was His Father`s love, so strong was His acceptance of His Son`s actions...Jesus felt that overwhelming love...and could but sigh.

Jesus heals a deaf and mute man
Jesus is looking the Father at heaven, by whom he was sent, and from whom, as man, he received his authority and power. Then Jesus sighed before the healing, as commiserating the case of the poor man, and reflecting with concern upon his sin, that had been the occasion of it. These actions of looking up to heaven and sighing, as they may be understood in a spiritual sense, or with relation to the spiritual healing of a sinner, may show that such a blessing comes from above ie. from the Father of heaven. Jesus had done nothing without the permission of the Father. By: Manoj Thomas - July 31, 2006 - Public Category: The Healing of a Deaf and Mute Man

Jesus looked up to heaven and then sighed before the healing I think that looking up to heaven it is indicate or to show us that the source of all things and creator of all universe is God who is in heaven, and telling us that we will keep on looking to Him and depending Him.

The Healing of a Deaf and Mute Man
Jesus looked up and sighed because he was communicating to the Father and asking for God`s availability in the miracle he was about to perform. He was praying too. By: Bol Joseph Agau - July 30, 2006 - Public Category: The Healing of a Deaf and Mute Man
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis. They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue. Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!" Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!"
