SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:33
Y echado fuera el demonio, el mudo habl; y la multitud se maravill, diciendo: Nunca ha sido vista cosa semejante en Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:33
Verse 33. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake] The very miracle which was now wrought was to be the demonstrative proof of the Messiah's being manifested in the flesh. See Isaiah xxxv. 5, 6. It was never so seen in Israel.] The greatest of the prophets has never been able to do such miracles as these. This was the remark of the people; and thus we find that the poor and the simple were more ready to acknowledge the hand of God than the rich and the learned. Many miracles had been wrought in the course of this one day, and this excited their surprise.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake , etc.] The cause of his dumbness being removed, the effect ceased, and the man spake as he did before, and as other men do; and this was done, according to the Persic version, as soon as Christ saw him; the devil not being able to bear his presence, much less withstand his power: but as soon as Christ had set his eyes upon the man possessed by him, and had given him orders to be gone, he immediately went out, and the man was restored to his speech again; and the multitude marvelled, saying, it was never so seen in Israel . The vast crowds of people, who were alarmed with the former miracles of Christ, and came along with the friends of the dumb man, when they heard him speak so suddenly and plainly, and with so much freedom, nothing being said or done to him, were surprised; and declared very frankly, that though many wonderful things had been done in Israel, in times past, by Moses, Elijah, Elisha, and others, yet never were such things seen, or heard, or known of, as were done by Christ: referring not to this miracle only, but to all the rest he had just wrought; as curing the woman of her bloody issue, raising Jairuss daughter from the dead, restoring sight to the two blind men, and now casting out a dumb devil.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-34 - Of the two, better a dumb devil than a blaspheming one. Christ's cure strike at the root, and remove the effect by taking away the cause they open the lips, by breaking Satan's power in the soul. Nothing can convince those who are under the power of pride. They will believ anything, however false or absurd, rather than the Holy Scriptures thus they show the enmity of their hearts against a holy God.
