Matthew 9:27-34

Common English Bible

Healing of two blind men

²⁷ As Jesus departed, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Show us mercy, Son of David.”

²⁸ When he came into the house, the blind men approached him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe I can do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

²⁹ Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “It will happen for you just as you have believed.” ³⁰ Their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them, “Make sure nobody knows about this.” ³¹ But they went out and spread the word about him throughout that whole region.

Healing of a man unable to speak

³² As they were leaving, people brought to him a man who was demon-possessed and unable to speak. ³³ When Jesus had thrown out the demon, the man who couldn’t speak began to talk. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, “He throws out demons with the authority of the ruler of demons.”
