* Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon , and came to the sea of Galilee , through the midst of the region of Decapolis . * They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech . They begged him to lay his hand on him . * He took him aside from the multitude , privately , and put his fingers into his ears , and he spat , and touched his tongue . * Looking up to heaven , he sighed , and said to him , "Ephphatha !" that is , "Be opened !" * Immediately his ears were opened , and the impediment of his tongue was released , and he spoke clearly . * He commanded them that they should tell no one , but the more he commanded them , so much the more widely they proclaimed it . * They were astonished beyond measure , saying , "He has done all things well . He makes even the deaf hear , and the mute speak !"
