31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, in the midst of the borders of the Decapolis.
32 And they brought a deaf one to Him, hardly speaking. And they begged Him to put [His] hand on him.
33 And He took him aside from the crowd and put His fingers into his ears. And He spat and touched his tongue.
34 And looking up to Heaven, He sighed and said to him, Ephphatha! (that is, Be opened!)
35 And instantly his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36 And He commanded them, that they should tell no one. But the more He commanded them, so much the more they proclaimed [it].
37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
