Matthew 9:34

A Mute Man Speaks

32 ^aAs they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, ^a“He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

The Compassion of Jesus

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, ^ateaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease¹ among the people.

36 ^aBut when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were¹ weary and scattered, ^blike sheep having no shepherd.

Matthew 9:34

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils - That is, Beelzebub. See the notes at Matthew 12:24. They did not deny the reality of the miracle or the facts in the case, but they ascribed what was done to the power of the great leader of the fallen host, as if Jesus were in league with him. For the manner in which the Saviour met that reasoning, see the notes at Matthew 12:25-28.
