Jesus Cures a Deaf Man

³¹ Yeshua then left the neighborhood of Tyre. He went through Sidon and the territory of the Ten Cities^[a] to the Sea of Galilee.

³² Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and who also had a speech defect. They begged Yeshua to lay his hand on him. ³³ Yeshua took him away from the crowd to be alone with him. He put his fingers into the man’s ears, and after spitting, he touched the man’s tongue. ³⁴ Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and said to the man, “Ephphatha!” which means, “Be opened!” ³⁵ At once the man could hear and talk normally.

³⁶ Yeshua ordered the people not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them, the more they spread the news. ³⁷ Yeshua completely amazed the people. They said, “He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute talk.”
