“Dianoigo”

Description

In Mark 7, we see this: “And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, “Ephphatha”, that is, “Be opened.” And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.”

Ephphatha is the Aramaic for ‘Be Opened’. Afterwards, Mark says in the King James Version ‘that is, be opened’, but in the actual Greek Mark says ‘Dianoigo’.
