and when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been seen the like in Israel:

And there came out of those quarters a Canaanitish woman, and cried to Him saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; for my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon.

Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.

(now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from her daughter.

And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

And she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.

And there was a man in the synagogue possessed by the spirit of an impure demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

but Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst of the assembly, and came out of him, having done him no hurt.

for John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath a demon:

(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)

And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb: and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the people wondered.

The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?

Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.

The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

Others said, These are not the words of a demoniac; can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

And the advice pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch.
