Matthew 9:27-34

Contemporary English Version

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

²⁷ As Jesus was leaving that place, two blind men began following him and shouting, “Son of David,^[a] have pity on us!”

²⁸ After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, “Do you believe I can make you well?”

“Yes, Lord,” they answered.

²⁹ Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, you will be healed.” ³⁰ They were able to see, and Jesus strictly warned them not to tell anyone about him. ³¹ But they left and talked about him to everyone in that part of the country.

Jesus Heals a Man Who Could Not Talk

³² As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, some people brought to him a man who could not talk because a demon was in him. ³³ After Jesus had forced the demon out, the man started talking. The crowds were so amazed they began saying, “Nothing like this has ever happened in Israel!”

^34 (A) But the Pharisees said, “The leader of the demons gives him the power to force out demons.”
