Mark 7:24-37

24

Jesus leftG450 that placeG1564 and wentG565 toG1519 theG3588 regionG3725 of TyreG5184.1 Not wanting anyoneG2309G3762 to knowG1097 He was there, He enteredG1525G1519 a houseG3614, butG2532 was unableG3756G1410 to escape their noticeG2990. 25InsteadG235, a womanG1135 whoseG3739 little daughterG2365G846 hadG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151 soonG2112 heardG191 aboutG4012 JesusG846, and she cameG2064 and fellG4363 atG4314 HisG846 feetG4228. 26NowG1161 she wasG1510 a GreekG1674 womanG1135 ofG3588 SyrophoenicianG4949 originG1085, andG2532 she kept askingG2065 Jesus to driveG1544 theG3588 demonG1140 out ofG1537 herG846 daughterG2364.

27“FirstG4412 letG863 theG3588 childrenG5043 have their fillG5526,” He saidG2036G846. “ForG1063 it isG1510 notG3756 rightG2570 to takeG2983 theG3588 children’sG5043 breadG740 andG2532 tossG906 it to theG3588 dogsG2952.”

28“YesG3483, LordG2962,” she repliedG611G2532G3004G846, “evenG2532 theG3588 dogsG29522 underG5270 theG3588 tableG5132 eatG2068G575 theG3588 children’sG3813 crumbsG5589.”

29ThenG2532 Jesus toldG2036 herG846, “Because ofG1223 thisG3778 answerG3056, you may goG5217. TheG3588 demonG1140 has leftG1831G1537 yourG4771 daughterG2364.” 30AndG2532 she wentG565 homeG1519G846G3588G3624 and foundG2147 her childG3813 lyingG906 onG1909 theG3588 bedG2825, andG2532 theG3588 demonG1140 was goneG1831.

31ThenG2532G3825 Jesus leftG1831G1537 theG3588 regionG3725 of TyreG5184 and wentG2064 throughG1223 SidonG4605 toG1519 theG3588 SeaG2281 of GalileeG1056 and intoG303G3319 theG3588 regionG3725 of the DecapolisG1179.3 32Some people broughtG5342 to HimG846 a man who was deafG2974 andG2532 hardly able to speakG3424, andG2532 they beggedG3870 Jesus to placeG2007 His handG5495 on himG846.

33So Jesus took himG618G846 asideG2596 privatelyG2398, away fromG575 theG3588 crowdG3793, and putG906 HisG846 fingersG1147 intoG1519 the man’s earsG3775. ThenG2532 He spitG4429 and touchedG680 the man’s tongueG1100. 34AndG2532 looking upG308 toG1519 heavenG3772, He sighed deeplyG4727 andG2532 saidG3004 to himG846, “EphphathaG2188!” (whichG3739 meansG1510, “Be openedG1272!”). 35ImmediatelyG21124 the man’s earsG189 were openedG455 andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 was releasedG3588G1199G3089, andG2532 he began to speakG2980 plainlyG3723.

36

Jesus orderedG1291 themG846 not to tell anyoneG3004G3367. ButG1161 the moreG3745 HeG846 orderedG1291 themG846, the more widelyG4053G3123 they proclaimedG2784 it. 37The people were utterly astonishedG1605G5249 and saidG3004, “He has doneG4160 all thingsG3956 wellG2573! He makesG4160 evenG2532 theG3588 deafG2974 hearG191 andG2532 theG3588 muteG216 speakG2980!”
