A i haere ia i reira, a ka tae ki tona kainga tupu; me te aru ano ana akonga i a ia.

A, ka taka mai te hapati, ka anga ia ka whakaako i roto i te whare karakia; a he tokomaha hoki, i to ratou rongonga, i miharo, i mea, No hea enei mea a tenei tangata? he matauranga aha tenei kua hoatu nei ki a ia, a he aha te tikanga o enei merek ara nunui kua oti nei i ona ringa?

Ehara ianei tenei i te kamura, i te tama a Meri, i te tuakana o Hemi, o Hohi, o Hura, o Haimona? Kahore ianei ona tuahine i konei, i a tatou nei? Heoi he ana ratou ki a ia.

Otira ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, kei tona kainga anake, kei ona whanaunga, kei tona whare, te poropiti hapa ai i te honore.

A kihai ia i ahei te mea i tetahi merekara ki reira, heoi ano ko te whakapa i ona ringa ki etahi tangata turoro torutoru kia ora ai.

A miharo ana ia ki to ratou whakaponokore. Na haereerea ana e ia nga kainga a tawhio noa, whakaako ai.

Katahi ia ka karanga i te tekau ma rua, ka anga ka tono i a ratou tokorua, tokorua; a hoatu ana ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke.

I whakahau ia ki a ratou, kia kaua tetahi mea e mauria ki te ara, he tokotoko anake; kaua he putea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni mo roto i te whitiki:

Engari nga hu, e here na; kaua hoki e takiruatia he koti hei kakahu.

10 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ka tapoko ki tetahi whare, hei reira noho ai a haere noa i reira.

11 A, ki te kahore etahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i reira, ruia atu te puehu i raro i o koutou waewae hei whakaatu ki a ratou. E pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E pai atu mo Hotoma me Komorah a a te ra whakawa, i to tenei pa.

12 Na ka haere ratou, ka kauwhau kia ripeneta te tangata.

13 He maha hoki nga rewera i peia, he tokomaha ano nga turoro i kaukauria ki te hinu, i whakaorangia.

14 A ka rongo a Kingi Herora ki enei mea; nui haere hoki tona ingoa: a ka mea ia, Kua ara a Hoani Kaiiriiri i te hunga mate, na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia.

15 Ko etahi i mea, Ko Iraia tenei. Ko etahi, he poropiti ia, he pera ranei me tetahi o nga poropiti.

16 Heoi, i te rongonga o Herora, ka mea ia, Ko Hoani tenei i poutoa e ahau te matenga: kua ara ia.

17 I tono tangata hoki taua Herora, a hopukia ana a Hoani, herea iho ki te whare herehere, he mea mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana a Piripi: kua marenatia hoki e ia.

18 Na Hoani hoki i mea ki a Herora, E kore e tika kia riro i a koe te wahine a tou tuakana.

19 Na ka mauahara a Heroriaha ki a ia, ka mea kia whakamatea ia; heoi kihai i taea:

20 I hopohopo hoki a Herora ki a Hoani, i mohio hoki ki a ia he tangata tika, he tapu, na ka ata tiaki i a ia. I tona rongonga ki a ia he nui tona pororaru; a i whakaahuareka ano ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

21 A ka tae ki tetahi wa pai, i te takanga ai a Herora i tona ra whanautanga, he hakari ma ana tangata nunui, ma nga rangatira hoia, ma nga tino tangata o Kariri;

22 A ka haere te tamahine a taua Heroriaha ki roto, ka kanikani, ka ahuareka a Herora ratou ko te hunga e noho tahi ana, a ka mea te kingi ki te kotiro ra, Mau e tono ki ahau tau e pai ai, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

23 Na ka oati ia ki a ia, Ko tau e tono ai ki ahau, ahakoa ko tetahi taha o toku rangatiratanga, me hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

24 Na ka haere ia, ka korero ki tona whaea, Me tono ahau kite aha? Ka mea tera, Ki te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri.

25 Na hohoro tonu tona haere ki te kingi, ka tono, ka mea, Ko taku e pai ai, kia homai e koe ki ahau aianei ko te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri i runga i te rihi.

26 Na nui atu te pouri o te kingi; otira i te whakaaro ki ana oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, kihai i pai kia whakakahoretia tana.

27 Na tonoa tonutia atu e te kingi tetahi o ana hoia kaitiaki me te whakahau atu kia mauria mai tona matenga: a haere ana tera, poutoa iho e ia tona matenga i roto i te whare herehere,

28 A mauria mai ana tona matenga i runga i te rihi, hoatu ana ki te kotiro: a na te kotiro i hoatu ki tona whaea.

29 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, ka haere mai ka tangohia tona tinana, a whakatakotoria ana ki te urupa.

30 Na ka huihui nga apotoro ki a Ihu, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai ratou, i whakaako ai.

31 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere mai koutou na na ki te koraha ki te wahi motu ke, kia ta ai te manawa: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai ana, e haere atu ana, no kihai rawa ratou i watea ki te kai.

32 A haere puku ana ratou ki te koraha ki tetahi wahi motu ke ra te kaipuke.

33 A i kite nga mano i to ratou haerenga, he tokomaha i matau ki a ia, na ka oma a waewae ki reira i roto i nga pa katoa, a ko ratou kua tae wawe.

34 A ka puta a Ihu, ka kite i te hui nui, ka aroha ki a ratou, no te mea i rite ratou ki te hipi heparakore: a ka anga ia ka whakaako i a ratou ki nga mea maha.

35 Na, kua heke noa atu te ra, ka haere atu ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, He wahi koraha tenei, kua heke noa atu te ra:

36 Tonoa atu ratou kia haere ki nga whenua, ki nga kainga i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki te hoko kai ma ratou.

37 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ma koutou e hoatu he kai ma ratou. Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Me haere oti matou ki te hoko taro ki nga pene e rua rau, ka hoatu ai hei kai ma ratou?

38 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, E hia a koutou taro? Tikina tirohia. Ka mohio ratou, na ka mea, E rima, e rua hoki nga ika.

39 Ka mea ia ki a ratou kia meinga ratou katoa kia noho, he nohoanga, he nohoanga, ki runga ki te tarutaru matomato.

40 Na ka noho ratou, he ropu, he ropu, tataki rau, tataki rima tekau.

41 A ka mau ia ki nga taro e rima, ki nga ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whakawhati i nga taro, a hoatu ana ki ana akonga kia whakatakotoria ma ratou; i tuwhaina ano hoki e ia nga ika e rua ma ratou katoa.

42 A kai katoa ana ratou, a ka makona.

43 A kotahi tekau ma rua nga kete i kohia e ratou, ki tonu i nga whatiwhatinga, i nga ika hoki.

44 A me te mea e rima mano nga tane i kai taro ra.

45 A akiaki tonu iho ia i ana akonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tawahi, ki Petahaira, i a ia e tono ana i te mano kia haere.

46 Na ka mutu tana poroporoaki, ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te inoi.

47 Na kua ahiahi, i waenga moana te kaipuke, ko ia anake hoki i uta.

48 Na ka kite ia i a ratou e ruwha ana i te hoenga; i he hoki te hau ki a ratou: a i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere atu ia ki a ratou, i haere maori atu i runga i te moana, me te mea hoki ka pahika ke i a ratou.

49 A, no ka kite ratou i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka mahara he wairua, ka aue:

50 I kite hoki ratou katoa i a ia, a ihiihi ana. Otira ka hohoro ia te korero ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia manawanui: ko ahau tenei; kaua e wehi.

51 Na ka eke ia ki te kaipuke ki a ratou; a mariri iho te hau: a nui atu to ratou ohomauri, miharo ana.

52 Kihai hoki i mahara ki nga taro: he pakeke hoki no o ratou ngakau.

53 A, no to ratou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta, ka herea te kaipuke ki uta.

54 No to ratou mahutatanga i te kaipuke, mohio tonu ratou ki a ia,

55 A ka oma puta noa i taua whenua, a tawhio noa, ka anga ka mau mai i nga turoro i runga i nga moenga ki te wahi, i rongo ai ratou kei reira ia.

56 A, i ona haerenga katoatanga ki nga kainga, ki nga pa, ki nga whenua ranei, ka whakatakotoria e ratou nga turoro ki nga kainga hokohoko, ka inoi ki a ia kia pa kau atu ratou ki te taniko o tona kakahu: a ora ake nga tangata katoa i pa ki a ia.

Na ka huihui ki a ia nga Parihi, me etahi o nga karaipi i haere mai i Hiruharama.

A, no to ratou kitenga i etahi o ana akonga e kai taro ana me te noa ano nga ringa, ara kihai i horoia, ka whakahe ratou.

e kore hoki nga Parihi me nga Hurai katoa e kai, ki te kahore i ata horoia nga ringa, e pupuri ana hoki i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua.

E kore ano ratou e kai ina hoki mai i te kainga hokohoko, ki te mea kahore i horoi. He maha hoki era atu mea tuku iho kia puritia e ratou, nga horoinga o anga kapu, o nga pata, o nga mea parahi, o nga nohoanga.

Katahi ka ui nga Parihi me nga karaipi ki a ia, He aha au akonga te haere ai i runga i te whakarerenga iho a nga kaumatua, a kahore e horoi i nga ringa ina kai taro?

Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tika rawa ta Ihaia i poropiti ai mo koutou, mo te hunga tinihanga, te mea hoki i tuhituhia, Ko te iwi nei, ko o ratou ngutu hei whakahonore i ahau, ko o ratou ngakau ia matara noa atu i ahau.

Otira maumau karakia noa ratou ki ahau, ko ta ratou nei hoki e whakaako ai ko nga whakahau a te tangata.

Kei te whakarere hoki koutou i ta te Atua kupu ako, ka mau ki te waihotanga iho a te tangata.

A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena ra ta koutou hanga ki te whakakahore i te whakahau a te Atua, kia mau ai koutou ki ta koutou whakarerenga iho.

10 I mea hoki a Mohi, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; me tenei, Ki te korero kino tetahi mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei, kia mate ia, mate rawa:

11 Ko koutou ia hei mea, ki te mea tetahi ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei, Ko taku mea hei atawhainga mou he Koropana, ara, he mea i hoatu ki te Atua;

12 Kahore koutou aianei i te tuku i a ia ki te mea i tetahi aha ma tona papa, ma tona whaea ranei;

13 Ka waiho e koutou ta koutou whakarerenga iho, i whakarerea iho nei e koutou, hei whakakahore mo ta te Atua kupu: he maha hoki nga mea pena e meinga ana e koutou.

14 Na karangatia ana ano e ia te mano ki a ia, a mea ana ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai koutou katoa, kia matau hoki:

15 Kahore he mea o waho o te tangata ka tapoko nei ki roto ki a ia hei whakanoa i a ia: engari nga mea e puta ana mai i roto i a ia, ma ena e noa ai te tangata.

16 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

17 A, no ka mawehe ke ia i te mano ki te whare, ka ui ana akonga ki a ia ki te tikanga o tena kupu whakarite.

18 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ha, he kuware ano koutou? Kahore koutou i matau, ko nga mea katoa o waho e tapoko nei ki te tangata, e kore ia e noa i era;

19 No te mea e kore e tapoko ki tona ngakau, engari ki te kopu a puta ana ki te poka? He korero tenei nana kia kiia ai he ma nga kai katoa.

20 I mea ano ia, Ko te mea e puta ake ana i te tangata, ma tera e noa ai te tangata.

21 No roto hoki, no te ngakau o nga tangata te putanga o nga whakaaro kino, o nga moepuku,

22 O nga tahae, o nga kohuru, o nga puremu, o nga hiahia apo, o nga kino, o te tinihanga, o te hiahia taikaha, o te kanohi kino, o te kohukohu, o te whakapehapeha, o te wairangi:

23 No roto te putanga ake o enei kino katoa, a ma reira e noa ai te tangata.

24 Na ka whakatika atu ia i reira, ka haere ki nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona; a tomo ana ki tetahi whare, kihai hoki ia i pai kia rongo tetahi tangata: otiia kihai ia i ngaro.

25 I reira hoki ka rangona ia e tetahi wahine, he wairua poke to tana kotiro, a haere ana mai, takoto ana ki ona waewae:

26 He wahine Kariki hoki ia, ko Hairopinihia tona iwi; ka inoi ki a ia kia peia e ia te rewera i roto i tana kotiro.

27 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Tukua kia matua makona nga tamariki: e kore hoki e pai kia tangohia te taro a nga tamariki, kia maka ma nga kuri.

28 Otira ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ia, Ae ra, e te Ariki, e kai ana ano nga kuri i raro i te tepu i nga kongakonga a nga tamariki.

29 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Koia kei tena kupu, haere; kua puta te rewera i roto i tau kotiro.

30 A ka haere atu ia ki tona whare, na rokohanga atu e takoto ana tana kotiro i runga i te moenga, kua puta te rewera.

31 A i hoki ano ia i nga wahi o Taira, o Hairona, haere ana ki te moana o Kariri, ra waenga o nga wahi o Rekaporihi.

32 Na ka mauria mai ki a ia he turi e whango ana; ka tohe ki a ia kia whakapakia iho tona ringa ki a ia.

33 Na ka tangohia ia e ia i roto i te mano ki tahaki, a kuhua ana ona maihao ki ona taringa, na ka tuwha, ka whakapa ki tona arero;

34 Ka titiro ki te rangi, ka whakapumanawa, ka mea ki a ia, Epata, ara, Kia puare.

35 Na puare tonu iho ona taringa, korokoro noa ana te here o tona arero, na kua tika ana korero.

36 Katahi ia ka whakatupato i a ratou kia kaua e korerotia ki te tangata: otira ahakoa te nui o tana whakatupato i a ratou, nui noa atu ta ratou korero haere.

37 A tino miharo rawa ratou, ka mea, pai tonu tana meatanga i nga mea katoa: e mea ana ia i nga turi kia rongo, i nga wahangu kia korero.

A Prophet Without Honor(A)

Jesus left there and went to his hometown,(B) accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came,(C) he began to teach in the synagogue,(D) and many who heard him were amazed.(E)

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon?(F) Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.(G)

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”(H) He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on(I) a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(J)

Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.(K) Calling the Twelve to him,(L) he began to send them out two by two(M) and gave them authority over impure spirits.(N)

These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet(O) as a testimony against them.”

12 They went out and preached that people should repent.(P) 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil(Q) and healed them.

John the Baptist Beheaded(R)(S)

14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying,[b] “John the Baptist(T) has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”(U)

And still others claimed, “He is a prophet,(V) like one of the prophets of long ago.”(W)

16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison.(X) He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”(Y) 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(Z) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[c]; yet he liked to listen to him.

21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(AA) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(AB) 22 When the daughter of[d] Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.

The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.” 23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”(AC)

24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(AD)(AE)

30 The apostles(AF) gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.(AG) 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat,(AH) he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

32 So they went away by themselves in a boat(AI) to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.(AJ) So he began teaching them many things.

35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”(AK)

They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[e]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”

When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”(AL)

39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.(AM) Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Jesus Walks on the Water(AN)(AO)

45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat(AP) and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida,(AQ) while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.(AR)

47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost.(AS) They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.

Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(AT) 51 Then he climbed into the boat(AU) with them, and the wind died down.(AV) They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.(AW)

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.(AX) 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak,(AY) and all who touched it were healed.

That Which Defiles(AZ)

The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled,(BA) that is, unwashed. (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.(BB) When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.[f])(BC)

So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders(BD) instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

“‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.’[g](BE)

You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”(BF)

And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[h] your own traditions!(BG) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[i](BH) and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[j](BI) 11 But you say(BJ) that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God(BK) by your tradition(BL) that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] [k]

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him(BM) about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods(BN) clean.)(BO)

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed,(BP) malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

Jesus Honors a Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith(BQ)

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[l](BR) He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit(BS) came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man(BT)

31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre(BU) and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee(BV) and into the region of the Decapolis.[m](BW) 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,(BX) and they begged Jesus to place his hand on(BY) him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit(BZ) and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven(CA) and with a deep sigh(CB) said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.(CC)

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.(CD) But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
