Mark 7:31-37
King James Version
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 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 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

New King James Version
Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute(A)
31 (B)Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee. 32 Then (C)they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. 33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and (D)He spat and touched his tongue. 34 Then, (E)looking up to heaven, (F)He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
35 (G)Immediately his ears were opened, and the [a]impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. 36 Then (H)He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 And they were (I)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He (J)makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
