Mark 7:29-36 English Standard Version (ESV)

29. And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”

30. And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

31. Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.

32. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.

33. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.

34. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”

35. And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

36. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
