THE GOSPEL – Mark 7:24-37

The Lord be with you.
And also with you.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

7:24 From there he set out and went away to the region of
Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know
he was there. Yet he could not escape notice,

7:25 but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean
spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and

bowed down at his feet.

7:26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician
origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her
daughter.

7:27 He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not
fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."

7:28 But she answered him, "Sir, even the dogs under the
table eat the children's crumbs."

7:29 Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go--the
demon has left your daughter."

7:30 So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and
the demon gone.

7:31 Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by
way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the
Decapolis.

7:32 They brought to him a deaf man who had an
impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his
hand on him.

7:33 He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and
put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his
tongue.

7:34 Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him,
"Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

7:35 And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was
released, and he spoke plainly.

7:36 Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more
he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.

7:37 They were astounded beyond measure, saying, "He has
done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and
the mute to speak."

The Gospel of Christ.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
