Mark 7:27-37 ▼

27 And He was saying to her, |Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.|

28 But she answered and said to Him, |Yes, Lord, [but] even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs.|

29 And He said to her, |Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.|

30 And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

31 Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

32 They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.

33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue [with the saliva];

34 and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, |Ephphatha!| that is, |Be opened!|

35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he [began] speaking plainly.

36 And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

37 They were utterly astonished, saying, |He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.|
