Mark 7:31-37

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31 ¹Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to ²the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the ³Decapolis.

32 And they brought to him ⁴a man who was deaf and ⁵had a speech impediment, and they begged him to ⁶lay his hand on him.

33 And ⁷taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and ⁸after spitting touched his tongue.

34 And ⁹looking up to heaven, ¹⁰he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

35 ¹¹And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

36 And ¹²Jesus^[a] charged them to tell no one. But ¹³the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

37 And they were ¹⁴astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
