(90) Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man
Matthew 15:29-31, Mark 7:31-37
[A]Jesus left the region of Tyre and Sidon and came again to the Sea of Galilee, into the region of Decapolis. He went up into a mountain and sat down, [B]and great multitudes came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others. They laid them down at Jesus’ feet; and He healed them. [C]One of them was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged Jesus to put His hand upon him.
[D]So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, and put His fingers in his ears. Then He spit and touched his tongue. [E]And looking up to heaven, He sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Be opened.” [F]Immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was untied, and he spoke plainly.
[G]Then He ordered them not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more they proclaimed it. [H]For the multitude was astonished beyond measure when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

Matthew 15:29-31, KJV
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Mark7:31-37, KJV
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; 37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
