31 Then leaving the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he returned to the sea of Galilee, through the precincts of Decapolis.

32 And they brought to him a deaf man, who had also an impediment in his speech, and entreated him to lay his hand upon him.

33 Jesus having taken him aside from the crowd, spit upon his own fingers, and put them into the man's ears, and touched his tongue.

34 Then looking up to heaven, and sighing, he said, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 Immediately his ears were opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke distinctly.

36 He charged them to tell no person: but the more he charged them, the more they published it,

37 saying with inexpressible amazement, He does everything well: he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
