Matthew 9:33

31 ^aBut when they had departed, they¹ spread the news about Him in all that² country.

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 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake - The very miracle which was now wrought was to be the demonstrative proof of the Messiah' s being manifested in the flesh. See Isaiah 35:5, Isaiah 35:6.

It was never so seen in Israel - The greatest of the prophets has never been able to do such miracles as these. This was the remark of the people; and thus we find that the poor and the simple were more ready to acknowledge the hand of God than the rich and the learned. Many miracles had been wrought in the course of this one day, and this excited their surprise.
