27. As Jesus departed, two blind men followed him, crying out, "Show us mercy, Son of David."
28. When he came into the house, the blind men approached him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied.
29. Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, "It will happen for you just as you have believed."
30. Their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them, "Make sure nobody knows about this."
31. But they went out and spread the word about him throughout that whole region.
32. As they were leaving, people brought to him a man who was demon-possessed and unable to speak.
33. When Jesus had thrown out the demon, the man who couldn’t speak began to talk. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
34. But the Pharisees said, "He throws out demons with the authority of the ruler of demons."
35. Jesus traveled among all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, announcing the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.
