The dumb

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!"

People were completely astounded and said, "He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

The maimed

If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than to have two hands and go into hell, to the unquenchable fire.

But when you host an elaborate meal, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.

And they

When the crowd saw this, they were afraid and honored God who had given such authority to men.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!"

And immediately the man stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

Fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us!" and "God has come to help his people!"

Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.

And immediately he regained his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they too gave praise to God.

Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him, "Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner."

God

"No longer will your name be Jacob," the man told him, "but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed."

There he set up an altar and called it "The God of Israel is God."
