²⁷ As Jesus went on from there, two men who were blind followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, ^(A)Son of David!” ²⁸ And after He entered the house, the men who were blind came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” ²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “^[a]It shall be done for you ^(B)according to your faith.” ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus ^(C)sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” ³¹ But they went out and ^(D)spread the news about Him throughout that land.

³² And as they were going out, behold, ^(E)a ^(F)demon-possessed man who was unable to speak ^[b]was brought to Him. ³³ And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “^(G)Nothing like this has ever ^[c]been seen in Israel.” ³⁴ But the Pharisees were saying, “He ^(H)casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”

^2 (A)Now while in prison, ^(B)John heard about the works of Christ, and he sent word by his disciples, ³ and said to Him, “Are You ^(C)the Coming One, or are we to ^[a]look for someone else?” ⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: ^5 (D)those who are blind receive sight and those who limp walk, those with leprosy are cleansed and those who are deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the ^(E)poor have the ^[b]gospel preached to them. ⁶ And blessed is ^[c]any person who ^(F)does not ^[d]take offense at Me.”
