Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute

The blind men seek mercy, the mute man receives speech, and the crowd and Pharisees answer in opposite ways. Jesus both heals and warns, while public speech about him keeps spreading.

A²⁷s Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” ²⁸After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. ²⁹Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” ³⁰And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!” ³¹But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land. ³²As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus. ³³And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!” ³⁴But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
