And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
As soon as the demon was kicked out, the guy who couldn't speak started talking. The crowds were absolutely blown away, saying they'd never seen anything like this happen in Israel before.
When Jesus shows up, impossible things become possible, and people can't help but notice.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is actively ministering in Galilee, performing a series of miracles that demonstrate His divine authority over physical ailments and spiritual oppression. This particular event involves Jesus casting out a demon from a man who was unable to speak, which immediately restored his voice and left the crowds in awe. The reaction of the multitudes reflects the cultural expectation in first-century Israel that such miraculous acts were unprecedented, underscoring Jesus' role as the promised Messiah in a time of Roman occupation and religious tension.
