Lent Reading: Healing the blind and mute. Matthew 9:27-33

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

 When He entered the house, the blind men 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."

 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."

 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: "See that no one knows about this!"

 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.

 As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Him.

 After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
