32 There they brought him a deaf man who also could not speak properly. They asked Jesus to touch the man with his hand and heal him.33 After Jesus took him aside from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers in the deaf man's ears. Then he touched the man's tongue with spit.34 Jesus looked up to heaven and with a sigh he said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Open!”35 The man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was gone, and he began speaking properly.36 Jesus gave strict orders not to tell anyone, but the more he said this, the more they spread the news.37 They were totally amazed and said, “Everything he does is marvelous. He even makes the deaf hear, and the dumb speak.”
