Matthew 9:34

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!”

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

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
