Gospel of Mark

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

She went away to her house, and found the child lying on the bed, with the demon gone out.

Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke clearly.
