Matthew 9:32 is a verse in the ninth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort for this verse is:
- Αὐτῶν δὲ ἐξερχομένων, ἰδού, προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπον κωφὸν δαιμονιζόμενον.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
- As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
The New International Version translates the passage as:
- While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.
Analysis
There is a divided opinion as to whether the man was dumb before he was demon-possessed. MacEvilly believes it was the work of the demon, since the demon is called "mute" in Luke 11:4. However some believe the dumb man in Matt 12 is the same as the one in Luke 11:4 and not this one.[1]
