31 And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring to him a deaf {man} who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

33 And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;

34 and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

36 And he charged them that they should speak to no one {of it}. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it;

37 and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.
