恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 7:31-37

耶穌從提洛境內出來,經過漆冬,向著加里肋亞海,到了十城區中心地帶。有人給他帶來一個又聾又啞的人,求他給他覆手。耶穌便領他離開群眾,走到一邊,把手指放進他的耳朵裏,並用唾沫,抹他的舌頭,然後望天嘆息,向他說:「厄法達!」就是說:「開了吧!」他的耳朵就立時開了,舌結也解了,說話也清楚了。耶穌遂囑咐他們不要告訴任何人;但他越囑咐他們,他們便越發宣傳;人都不勝驚奇說:「他所做的一切都好:使聾子聽見,叫啞巴說話。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 7:31-37

Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis. And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”) And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. They were exceedingly astonished and they said, “He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
