31 And again Jesus went out from the coasts of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee [And again Jesus going out from the ends, or coasts, of Tyre, came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee], between the middle of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring to him a man deaf and dumb, and prayed him to lay his hand on him [and prayed him, that he put to him the hand].

33 And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers into his ears[a]; and he spat, and touched his tongue.

34 And he beheld into heaven, and sorrowed within, and said [And he beholding into heaven, sorrowed within, and saith to him], Ephphatha, that is, Be thou opened.

35 And at once [And anon] his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was unbound, and he spake rightly.

36 And he commanded to them, that they should say to no man; but how much he commanded to them, so much the more they preached [more],

37 and by so much the more they wondered, and said [saying], He did well all things, both he hath made deaf men to hear, and dumb men to speak.

  1. Mark 7:33 And he taking him aside from the company, put his fingers into his ears

31 And he departed again from the region of Tyre and Sidon, and went to the Sea of Galilee through the region of the Ten Cities. 32 And some people brought to him a man who was deaf and stammered in his speech, and asked him to put his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue, 34 and looked up to heaven and sighed, and said to him, Ephatha; that is to say, Be opened. 35 And straightaway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

36 And Jesus directed them to tell no one. But the more he forbad them, so much the more greatly they spoke of it. 37 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well, and has made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

31 [a]And he departed again from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, and came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of [b]Decapolis.

32 And they brought unto him one that was deaf and stammered in his speech, and prayed him to put his hand upon him.

33 Then he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers in his ears, and did spit, and touched his tongue.

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said 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 commanded them that they should tell no man: but how much soever he forbade them, the more a great deal they published it,

37 And were beyond measure astonied, saying, He hath done all things well: (A)He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
