Matthew 9:33

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.

and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel—referring, probably, not to this case only, but to all those miraculous displays of healing power which seemed to promise a new era in the history of Israel. Probably they meant by this language to indicate, as far as they thought it safe to do so, their inclination to regard Him as the promised Messiah.
