31 And again, going out from the borders of Tsor and Tsiḏon, He came to the Sea of Galil, through the midst of the borders of Dekapolis.
32 And they brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they begged Him to lay His hand upon him.
33 And taking him away from the crowd, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue.
34 And looking up to the heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the binding of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plainly.
36 And He ordered them, that they should say it to no one, but the more He ordered them, the more they published it.
37 And they were immeasurably astonished, saying, “He has done all well. He makes even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.”
