So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
