^{31 Ref} And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

^{32 Ref} And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

^{33 Ref} And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

^{34 Ref} and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

^{35 Ref} And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

^{36 Ref} And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

^{37 Ref} And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

^{31 Ref} And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,

^{32 Ref} and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

^{33 Ref} And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

^{34 Ref} and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;'

^{35 Ref} and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

^{36 Ref} And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming `it',

^{37 Ref} and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

^{31 Ref} And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

^{32 Ref} And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

^{33 Ref} And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;

^{34 Ref} And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.

^{35 Ref} And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

^{36 Ref} And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

^{37 Ref} And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
