Matthew 9:33 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:
- Καὶ ἐκβληθέντος τοῦ δαιμονίου, ἐλάλησεν ὁ κωφός· καὶ ἐθαύμασαν οἱ ὄχλοι, λέγοντες ὅτι Οὐδέποτε ἐφάνη οὕτως ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
- And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
The New International Version translates the passage as:
- And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Analysis
This miracle is said to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah (chap. 35), "Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing." Lapide believes that from this it seems that the demon had made the man deaf and dumb, who was not so before.[1]
