Mark 7:31-37

311Again He left the region of 2Tyre and came through Sidon to 3the Sea of Galilee, within the region of 4Decapolis.

32And they brought to Him one who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they begged Him to 5lay His hand on him.

33And Jesus 6took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers in his ears, and after 7spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

34and looking up to heaven with a deep 8sigh, He said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

35And his ears were opened, and the 9impediment of his tongue was 10removed, and he began speaking plainly.

36And 11He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they 12continued to proclaim it.

37And they were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even those who are deaf hear, and those who are unable to talk, speak.”
