31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri, venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilaeae inter medios fines Decapoleos.

 32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
Et adducunt ei surdum, et mutum, et deprecabantur eum, ut imponat illi manum.

 33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum, misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus : et exspuens, tetigit linguam ejus :

 34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
et suscipiens in caelum, ingemuit, et ait illi : Ephphetha, quod est, Adaperire.

 35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
Et statim apertae sunt aures ejus, et solutum est vinculum linguae ejus, et loquebatur recte.

 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
Et praecepit illis ne cui dicerent. Quanto autem eis praecipiebat, tanto magis plus praedicabant :

 37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
et eo amplius admirabantur, dicentes : Bene omnia fecit : et surdos fecit audire, et mutos loqui.
