Mark 7:31-37
31And again going out from the region of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of the Decapolis. 32And they bring to him a deaf man who could hardly speak, and they beg him to lay his hand on him. 33And taking him aside from the crowd he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue; 34and looking up to heaven, he sighed and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35And his ears were opened, and the binding of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plainly. 36And he ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more they proclaimed it. 37And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
29And moving on from there, Jesus came beside the Sea of Galilee; and going up onto the mountain, he was sitting there. 30And many crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, maimed, and many others, and they set them at his feet; and he healed them, 31so that the crowd was amazed seeing the mute speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
