Mark 7:31-35

Again He left the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

And they *brought to Him one who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they *begged Him to lay His hand on him.

And Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers in his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He *said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.
