Matthew 9:27-38 ▼

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

28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

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

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.”

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.

37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
