Matthew 9:24-36
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
24he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26And the report of this went through all that district.
27And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."
28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."
30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about it."
31But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
32As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him.
33And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."
34But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."
35And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.
36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
