Jesus Heals A Man Who Was Blind, Dumb And Possessed
Magdala is beside the sea, and here
the teachers taught. A man possessed, and who was blind and dumb was brought,
and Jesus spoke the Word, and behold, the evil spirits went away. The man spoke
out, his eyes were opened and he saw. This was the greatest work that men had
seen the Master do, and they were all amazed. The Pharisees were there, and
they were full of jealous rage. They sought a cause whereby they might condemn.
They said, “Yes, it is true that Jesus does a multitude of mighty works. But humanity should know
that He is leagued with Beelzebul. He is a sorcerer,
a black magician of the Simon Cerus type. He works as
Jannes and as Jambres did
in the days of Moses. For Satan, prince of evil spirits, is his stay by night
and day, and in the name of Satan He casts the demons out, and in his name he
heals the sick and raises up the dead.”
But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to them, “You men are masters, and you
know the law. Whatever is arrayed against itself must fall. a
house divided cannot stand. A kingdom warring with itself is brought to naught.
If Satan casts the devil out, how can his kingdom stand?
If I, by Beelzebul, cast devils out, by whom do you
cast devils out?
But if I, in the holy name of God, cast devils out, and make the lame to walk,
the deaf to hear, the blind to see, the dumb to speak, has not God's kingdom
come to you?”
The Pharisees were dumb. They answered not.
