Jesus Cures a Deaf Man
31 Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went by way of Sidon toward the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. 32 They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.(A) 33 He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue.(B) 34 Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”(C) 35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.(D) 36 Then Jesus[a] ordered them to tell no one, but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.(E) 37 They were astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

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!”
