Jesus heals two blind men.
v.27-28 After healing the girl (18-26) two blind men followed him shouting, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” (nlt) These men were faith in action, nothing was going to stop them from seeking Jesus. The title “Son of David” indicated the blind men believed Jesus to be the Messiah. The Messianic age was to be accompanied by the healing of the blind (Is 29:18-19, Is 35:5-6). Jesus asked them if they believed he could make them see and they replied “yes, Lord”.
v.29-31 Touching their eyes, Jesus said “According to your faith be it done to you.” They were immediately healed and went about that region telling what Jesus had done, despite his telling them to keep quiet about it (the healing occurred in the privacy of a house).
Jesus heals a mute, demon possessed man.
v.32-33 Next a mute demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus. He cast out the demon and the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed saying “nothing like this has ever happened in Israel!”
v.34 The Pharisees refused to believe and accused Jesus of being powered by the prince of demons. Jesus challenged their cherished traditions and exposed their insincere motives. See also 12:22-32.
