Mark 7:28-37

28 But she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."

29 And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

30 And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

31 ¹Again He went out from the region of ²Tyre, and came through Sidon to ³the Sea of Galilee, within * the region of ⁴Decapolis.

32 They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to ⁵lay His hand on him.

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

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

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

36 And ⁹He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they ¹⁰continued to proclaim it.

37 They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
