^{35 Ref} Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

^{36 Ref} He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

^{37 Ref} They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!"
