Matthew 9:32-34

Authority to Forgive, Mercy for Sinners, and Compassion for the Harvest

Matthew moves from Jesus’ authority to forgive sins, to his mercy toward sinners, to his teaching on newness, to his authority over death, uncleanness, blindness, muteness, and demons, concluding with compassion for the shepherdless crowds and prayer for harvest workers.

32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
