Mark 7:32-36

32 They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to ¹lay His hand on him.

33 ²Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after ³spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

34 and looking up to heaven with a deep ⁴sigh, 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 ⁵He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they ⁶continued to proclaim it.
