32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!” And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!” And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
