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

He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils - This verse is wanting in both the Greek and Latin of the C. Bezae, in another copy of the Itala, and in Hilary and Juvencus. But see on Matthew 12:24 (note).

It is a consummate piece of malice to attribute the works of God to the devil. Envy cannot suffer the approbation which is given to the excellencies of others. Those whose hearts are possessed by this vice speak the very language of the devil. Calumny is but a little distance from envy. Though all persons may not have as much envy as the Pharisees, yet they should fear having some degree of it, as all have the principle from whence it proceeds, viz. sin.
