Sunday, August 21 : Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark 7,31-37.

And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, Jesus came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.  
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue.
And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
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.
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.
