Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

Mark 7

³¹ _a Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to _b the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the _c Decapolis. ³² And they brought to him _d a man who was deaf and _d had a speech impediment, and they begged him to _e lay his hand on him. ³³ And _f taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and _f after spitting touched his tongue. ³⁴ And _g looking up to heaven, _h he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." ³⁵ _d And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. ³⁶ And _i Jesus ₁ charged them to tell no one. But _j the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they were _k astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
