Mark 7:34

The Deaf and Mute Man

33So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.34And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).35Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
