Mark 7:31-37
(alternative translations)
31 Again Jesus left the
district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into
the district of the Decapolis. 32 And people brought to him a deaf man who had a
speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 He took him off by himself
away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and,
spitting, touched his tongue; 34 then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and
said to him, “Ephphatha!” — that is, “Be opened!” —
35 And immediately the
man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he
spoke plainly. 36 He
ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not
to, the more they proclaimed it. 37 They were exceedingly astonished and they said,
“He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute
speak.”
