Jesus Does Everything Well
31 Again, leaving the region of Tyre,(A) He went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee,(B) through[a] the region of the Decapolis.(C) 32 They brought to Him a deaf(D) man who also had a speech difficulty,(E) and begged Jesus to lay His hand on(F) him. 33 So He took him away from the crowd privately. After putting His fingers in the man’s ears and spitting,(G) He touched his tongue. 34 Then, looking up to heaven,(H) He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!”[b] (that is, “Be opened!”). 35 Immediately his ears were opened,(I) his speech difficulty was removed,[c] and he began to speak clearly.(J) 36 Then He ordered them to tell no one,(K) but the more He would order them, the more they would proclaim(L) it.
37 They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well!(M) He even makes deaf(N) people hear, and people unable to speak,(O) talk!”

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man(A)
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre(B) and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee(C) and into the region of the Decapolis.[a](D) 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,(E) and they begged Jesus to place his hand on(F) him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit(G) and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven(H) and with a deep sigh(I) 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.(J)
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.(K) 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.”
