Deaf and Dumb Demons

When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

And the LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Or who makes the mute or the deaf, the sighted or the blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.

One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
