Matthew 12:22 - Exposition

Then was brought . So Westcott and Herr margin, but text, "then they brought," as in Matthew 9:32 . Unto him one possessed with a devil, blind (this fact is not mentioned by Luke), and dumb . "The devil had shut up each entrance by which be might come to faith, his sight and his hearing, yet Christ opened each" (Chrysostom). And he healed him , insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. The case was worse than even that of Matthew 9:32 , where the man was not blind.
