While Jesus was travelling towards the Sea of Galilee, they brought him a
deaf man who could hardly talk; and they asked Jesus to lay his hand on him.
Jesus took the man away from the crowd, put his fingers
into the man’s ears and touched his tongue with spittle.
Then, looking up to heaven, Jesus sighed and said to him,
“Be opened.” At once the man could hear and he could speak
clearly too. And Jesus ordered the people to tell no one
about it, but the more he insisted, the more widely they told
everyone about it. “He has done all things well,” they said.
“He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.”
