Mark 7:31

DecapolisSea of GalileeSidonTyre

29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32 Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
