³³ And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds ^(A)marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.”

Jesus and Beelzebul

^14 (A)Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.

³² And they brought to him ^(A)a man who was deaf and ^(B)had a speech impediment, and they begged him to ^(C)lay his hand on him. ³³ And ^(D)taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and ^(E)after spitting touched his tongue. ³⁴ And ^(F)looking up to heaven, ^(G)he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” ^35 (H)And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. ³⁶ And ^(I)Jesus^[a] charged them to tell no one. But ^(J)the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they were ^(K)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

¹¹ Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? ¹² Now therefore go, and ^(A)I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

⁹ When Jesus heard these things, ^(A)he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such ^(B)faith.”

³⁰ And great crowds came to him, bringing with them ^(A)the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, ^31 (B)so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, ^(C)the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And ^(D)they glorified ^(E)the God of Israel.

²⁰ You have shown ^(A)signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, ^(B)and have made a name for yourself, as at this day.
