9:32 {7} As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
(7) An example of that power that Christ has over the devil.
9:32 A dumb man possessed with a devil. Compare Lu 11:14. A complication of physical and spiritual maladies. See PNT Mt 8:29.
9:32 Luke 11:14.
9:32-34 Of the two, better a dumb devil than a blaspheming one. Christ's cures strike at the root, and remove the effect by taking away the cause; they open the lips, by breaking Satan's power in the soul. Nothing can convince those who are under the power of pride. They will believe anything, however false or absurd, rather than the Holy Scriptures; thus they show the enmity of their hearts against a holy God.
