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

³¹ On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns. ³² Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. ³³ Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man's ears, and touched his tongue with saliva. ³⁴ Then, looking up to Heaven, he sighed, and said to the man: "Ephphatha!" which means 'Be opened.' ³⁵ The man's ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly. ³⁶ Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,

³⁷ And a profound impression was made upon the people. "He has done everything well!" they exclaimed. "He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!"
