Mark 7:26-36

26 ¹Now the woman was a ²Gentile, ³a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 And he said to her, "Let the children be ⁴fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and ⁵throw it to the dogs."

28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's ⁶crumbs."

29 And he said to her, "For this statement you may ⁷go your way; the demon has left your daughter."

30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31 ⁸Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to ⁹the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the ¹⁰Decapolis.

32 And they brought to him ¹¹a man who was deaf and ¹²had a speech impediment, and they begged him to ¹³lay his hand on him.

33 And ¹⁴taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and ¹⁵after spitting touched his tongue.

34 And ¹⁶looking up to heaven, ¹⁷he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

35 ¹⁸And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

36 And ¹⁹Jesus^[a] charged them to tell no one. But ²⁰the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
