Mark 7:27-37

²⁷But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first; it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

²⁸So she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs.”

²⁹So He said to her, “Because of this saying you may go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”

³⁰She went away to her house and found that the demon was gone and the daughter had been placed on the bed.

³¹Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, Jesus came to the Sea of Galilee by way of the Decapolis region.

³²Then they brought to Him a deaf man with thick speech and begged Him to place His hand on him.

³³After taking him aside, away from the crowd, He put His fingers in his ears; He also spat and touched his tongue.

³⁴Then looking up to heaven He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

³⁵Immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he began to speak clearly.

³⁶Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He would command them, so much the more they would proclaim it.

³⁷People were astonished beyond measure, saying: “He has done everything well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
