32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. (Matthew 9:32-33 KJV)
William Burkitt’s Commentary
Still our Lord goes about doing good; before, he healed the diseased, here he helps the possessed.
Learn, 1. That amongst the many calamities which sin has rendered human nature liable and obnoxious to, this is one, to be bodily possessed by Satan. This man’s dumbness was caused by the devil’s possession.
Learn, 2. That one demonstration of Christ’s divine power, and a convincing evidence of his being truly and really God, was, his casting out devils by the word of his power.
