Mark 7:25-35

25 But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.

26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

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.
