Gospel: Mark 7: 31-37
Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man
Jesus left the regions of tyre and went through Sidon to the sea of Galilee up through the midst of the regions of Decapolis. Here they brought him a man deaf and with speech impediment and they entreated him to lay his hand upon him. And Jesus took him away from the crowd privately and put his fingers into the man’s ears and, after spitting, he touched his tongue. And with a look up into heaven he sighed deeply and said to him “Ephphatha” that is, “Be opened”. The man’s hearing powers were opened and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he began speaking normally. With that Jesus charged them not to tell anyone; but the more he would charge them, the more they would proclaim it. Indeed, they were being astounded in a most extraordinary way and they said: “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the speechless speak.”
