Mark 7:31-37 - A Man Deaf And Unable To Speak Healed

³¹ He left the territory of Tyre again and passed through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, crossing the territory of Decapolis. ³² And a deaf man who stammered was brought to him, with the request that he would lay his hand on him. ³³ So taking him aside from the crowd by himself, he put his fingers into the man's ears, touched his tongue with saliva, ³⁴ and looking up to heaven with a sigh he said to him, "Ephphatha" (which means, Open). ³⁵ Then his ears were [at once] opened and his tongue freed from its fetter ??he began to speak correctly. ³⁶ Jesus forbade them to tell anyone about it, but the more he forbade them the more eagerly they made it public;

³⁷ they were astounded in the extreme, saying, "How splendidly he has done everything! He actually makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak!"
