Mark 7:31-37
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jesus Does Everything Well
31 Again, leaving the region of Tyre,(A) He went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee,(B) through[a] the region of the Decapolis.(C) 32 They brought to Him a deaf(D) man who also had a speech difficulty,(E) and begged Jesus to lay His hand on(F) him. 33 So He took him away from the crowd privately. After putting His fingers in the man’s ears and spitting,(G) He touched his tongue. 34 Then, looking up to heaven,(H) He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!”[b] (that is, “Be opened!”). 35 Immediately his ears were opened,(I) his speech difficulty was removed,[c] and he began to speak clearly.(J) 36 Then He ordered them to tell no one,(K) but the more He would order them, the more they would proclaim(L) it.
37 They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well!(M) He even makes deaf(N) people hear, and people unable to speak,(O) talk!”

International Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Deaf Man with a Speech Impediment
31 Then Jesus[a] left the territory of Tyre and passed through Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the territory of the Decapolis.[b] 32 Some people[c] brought him a deaf man who also had a speech impediment. They begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 Jesus[d] took him away from the crowd to be alone with him. Putting his fingers into the man’s[e] ears, he touched the man’s[f] tongue with saliva.
34 Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and told him, “Ephphatha,”[g] that is, “Be opened!” 35 The man’s[h] hearing and speech were restored at once, and he began to talk normally. 36 Jesus[i] ordered the people[j] not to tell anyone, but the more he kept ordering them, the more they kept spreading the news.
37 Amazed beyond measure, they kept on saying, “He does everything well! He even makes deaf people hear and mute people talk!”
