| 31 | Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decap'olis. |
| 32 | And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. |
| 33 | And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; |
| 34 | and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened." |
| 35 | And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. |
| 36 | And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. |
| 37 | And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak." |
