Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 7
³⁰ And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
³¹ Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.
³² Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.
³³ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.
³⁴ Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."
³⁵ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
³⁶ Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
³⁷ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
Mark 8
¹ In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,
² "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
³ And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."
