Mark 7:32-37 ▼

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

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

34 and looking up to heaven with a 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 was ordering them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

37 And they were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
