31 Yeshua left the Tyre region, passed through Tsidon, and came down the eastern side of the Lake of Galilee to the Decapolis region. 32 The people there brought a man to him who couldn’t hear or speak, and asked Yeshua to heal him. 33 So Yeshua took the man back away from the crowd, put his fingers in the man’s ears, then he spat and touched the man’s mouth. 34 Looking up to the sky, he sighed and said, “Open up!”

35 Then the man could hear, and his tongue was released and he began to speak properly. 36 The Yeshua advised that they shouldn’t tell anyone, but the more he said that, the more they seemed to spread it around. 37 The crowds were totally amazed, saying, “He can do anything—he makes the deaf able to hear, and enables the ones who couldn’t speak.”
