23. When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24. he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
25. But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26. The report of this went out into all that land.
27. As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
28. When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
29. Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
30. Their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
31. But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32. As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33. When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
