23
When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,
24
he said,
“Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.
25
After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26
News of this spread through all that region.
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them,
“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
29
Then he touched their eyes and said,
“According to your faith let it be done to you”;
30
and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly,
“See that no one knows about this.”
31
But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
32
While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.
33
And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
