Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 7
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."
⁴ Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"
⁵ He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."
⁶ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
⁷ They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.
