“And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:32-34 Of the two, better a dumb devil than a blaspheming one. Christ's cures strike at the root, and remove the effect by taking away the cause; they open the lips, by breaking Satan's power in the soul. Nothing can convince those who are under the power of pride. They will believe anything, however false or absurd, rather than the Holy Scriptures; thus they show the enmity of their hearts against a holy God.
“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
