26. And the news about this spread through all that district.
27. As Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting loudly, Have pity and mercy on us, Son of David!
28. When He reached the house and went in, the blind men came to Him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.
29. Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith and trust and reliance [on the power invested in Me] be it done to you;
30. And their eyes were opened. And Jesus earnestly and sternly charged them, See that you let no one know about this.
31. But they went off and blazed and spread His fame abroad throughout that whole district.
32. And while they were going away, behold, a dumb man under the power of a demon was brought to Jesus.
33. And when the demon was driven out, the dumb man spoke; and the crowds were stunned with bewildered wonder, saying, Never before has anything like this been seen in Israel.
34. But the Pharisees said, He drives out demons through and with the help of the prince of demons.
35. And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity.
