| 29Departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on the mountain and sat down. | 31Then Jesus came back from the region of Tyre and Sidon and went to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis. 32Some people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on the man. 33So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd. Then he put his fingers into the man's ears, spit, and touched the man's tongue. 34And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”). 35Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly. |
| 30Large crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others. They put them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them. 31So the crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel. | 36Then Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But as much as he ordered them not to do so, they proclaimed it all the more. 37And they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” |
