Matthew 9:33 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 9:27-34

In these verses we have an account of two more miracles wrought together by our Saviour. I. The giving of sight to two blind men, Matt. 9:27-31. Christ is the Fountain of light as well as life; and as, by raising the dead, he showed himself to be the same that at first breathed into man the breath of life, so, by giving sight to the blind, he showed himself to be the same that at first commanded the light to shine out of darkness. Observe, 1. The importunate address of the blind men to Christ.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 9:1-34

We have repeatedly seen that in Matthew's gospel there is nothing haphazard. It is carefully planned and carefully designed. In Matthew 9:1-38 we see another example of this careful planning, for here we see the first shadows of the gathering storm. We see the opposition beginning to grow; we hear the first hint of the charges which are going to be levelled against Jesus, and which are finally going to bring about his death. In this chapter four charges are made against Jesus. (i) He is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake ,.... 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... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:33

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 35:5 , Isaiah 35:6 . 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... read more

4. THE COMPLETENESS OF HIS HEALING POWER . (Cf. Matthew 8:1 , note.) (a) sight ( Matthew 9:27-31 ); (b) speech, though, in this case, the dumbness was the work of an evil spirit ( Matthew 9:32-34 ). Observe also in this section the reference to the effect of his work upon outsiders. read more

Other miracles, I. THE TWO BLIND MEN . 1 . Their cry. The day's work was not over. It had been a wonderful day, crowded with mighty deeds. The Lord was returning from the house of Jairus, his thoughts full, we may well believe, of sympathy with the sorrowing, of holy joy at their deliverance. But this world is a world of sorrow; sorrow in various forms meets us everywhere. Two blind men followed in the crowd. They could not see the gracious face of the Lord, but they had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:32-34

The demon cast out of the dumb man. The astonishment of the multitudes and their confession. [ The accusation by the Pharisees. ] The whole narrative greatly resembles the cure of the blind and dumb man possessed with a devil ( Matthew 12:22-24 ; Luke 11:14 , Luke 11:15 ), as may be seen from the fact that the following words are common to both passages, the brackets indicating a want of exact correspondence in the original. "They brought to him one possessed with a devil, dumb,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:32-34

Two devils. We have just seen two blind men in agreement. We are now introduced to two devils in diversity. Here is the dumb devil. Here also is the devil muttering blasphemy. I. HERE IS A COMPARISON OF TWO SAD CASES . 1 . The dumb demoniac. (a) He has no voice for prayer. (b) He has no voice for praise. (c) He has no voice for testimony. 2 . The blaspheming Pharisee. (a) Because he did the best works on the best of days. (b) Because... read more

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel . In Matthew 12:23 they have advanced a stage further, and suggest that Jesus is Messiah (" the Son of David;" cf. supra , Matthew 12:27 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake - The miracle is narrated in the briefest terms; but the effect was immediate and the restoration was complete.It was never so seen in Israel - Never was there in our land - among the Jews - such a succession of wonders, so striking, so marvelous, so full of the power of God. This was literally true. read more
