31 Again, coming out from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He went to the Sea of Galilee, in the midst of the region of Decapolis.
32 Then they brought to Him a deaf man impeded in speech, and they begged Him that He would lay His hand upon him.
33 And when he had taken him aside from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue.
34 Then looking up into heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha,"that is, "Be opened."
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking correctly.
36 And He ordered them that they should tell no one; but the more He ordered them, the more exceedingly they would proclaim it.
37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
