“Ephphatha”: the deaf man with an impediment in his speech

귀먹고 어눌한 자에게 에바다 하심

Mark 7:31–37: Jesus departs again from the borders of Tyre and Sidon and comes to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis. They bring to him one who is deaf and has an impediment in his speech, and beg him to lay his hand on him. He takes him aside from the multitude privately, puts his fingers into his ears, spits and touches his tongue; looking up to heaven he sighs and says to him, “Ephphatha!”, that is, “Be opened!” At once his ears are opened, the impediment of his tongue is released, and he speaks clearly. The more he commands them to tell no one, the more widely they proclaim it, astonished beyond measure: “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!” In the Korean Revised Version Jesus comes out of the borders of Tyre and passes through Sidon.
