− Ephphatha −

Ｅｐｈｐｈａｔｈａ ＝ ｂｅ ｏｐｅｎｅｄ

The Greek form of a Syro-Chaldaic or Aramaic word, meaning "Be
opened," uttered by Christ when healing the man who was deaf an
dumb (Mark 7:34). It is one of the characteristics of Mark that
he uses the very Aramaic words which fell from our Lord's lips.
(See 3:17; 5:41; 7:11; 14:36; 15:34.)

『 そして、天を見上げて嘆息し，彼に向かって，「エッファタ！」，つまり「開かれよ！」と言った。』
（ マルコによる福音書７章３４節）
