HEALING A MUTE MAN POSSESSED BY A DEMON

1. Why did Jesus perform miracles? 

a) If Jesus really were divine, he should have been able to perform miracles. Jesus did just that. He healed the sick, walked on water and even raised the dead. These miracles helped to support his claim that he was the true God come to earth to save mankind.

b) The miracles of Jesus are described in the New Testament and are listed more or less below.

2. Miracles of Jesus: Healing a mute man possessed by a demon (Matthew 9:32-33)

a) After Matthew described a miracle in which Jesus healed two men of blindness (Matthew 9:27-31), Matthew recorded a miracle in which Jesus healed a mute man possessed by a demon: 

Matthew 9:32-33New International Version (NIV)

32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
