007:030 So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed,
and the demon gone.
007:031 Returning from the neighbourhood of Tyre, He came by way
of Sidon to the Lake of Galilee, passing through the district
of the Ten Towns.
007:032 Here they brought to Him a deaf man that stammered, on whom
they begged Him to lay His hands.
007:033 So Jesus taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His
fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his tongue;
007:034 and looking up to Heaven He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!"
(that is, "Open!")
007:035 And the man's ears were opened, and his tongue became untied,
and he began to speak perfectly.
007:036 Then Jesus charged them to tell no one; but the more He charged them,
all the more did they spread the news far and wide.
007:037 The amazement was extreme. "He succeeds in everything
he attempts," they exclaimed; "he even makes deaf men hear
and dumb men speak!"
008:001 About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they
found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His
disciples to Him.
008:002 "My heart yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now
the third day they have remained with me, and they have
nothing to eat.
008:003 If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way,
some of them having come a great distance."
008:004 "Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place
to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
008:005 "How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said.
008:006 So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground.
