Thematic Bible: Heals a deaf man (in the decapolis region)

Jesus having left that place, drew nigh to the sea of Galilee, and went up a mountain, where he sat down. there a great crowd of people came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at Jesus feet, and he healed them: insomuch that the people wondred when they perceived the dumb to speak, the maimed to be heal'd, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus then quitting the confines of Tyre and Sidon, and passing to the confines of Decapolis, came back to the sea of Gallilee. and they presented to him a deaf man, that had an impediment in his speech, desiring he would lay his hands upon him. Jesus taking him aside from the crowd, spit upon his fingers, and applied them to the ears and to the tongue of the deaf man. read more.
then looking up to heaven, with a sigh, he said, Ephphata, that is, be open: and his Ears were instantly opened, his tongue was loosen'd, and he spoke freely. and Jesus charg'd them not to mention it to any one; but the more be enjoin'd them, the more they publish'd it. for they were transported with admiration, and said, all his actions are beneficent! he gives hearing to the deaf, and speech to the dumb.
