Again Jesus set out ; from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon and skirting the sea of Galilee he came to the territory of Decapolis .There a deaf man who also had difficulty in speaking was brought to him .They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him .
Jesus took him apart from the crowd , put his fingers into the man`s ears and touch his tongue with spittle. Then, looking up to heaven , he groaned and said to him, "Ephphetha ," that is , " Be opened"
And his ears were opened , his tongue was loosened , and he began to speak clearly. Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone,but the more he insested on this the more they proclaimed it . The people were completely astonished and said," He has done all things well; he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak"
