Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 9:33

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

Some think this the same mentioned, Luk. 11.14. as shortly as it is here: The word in the Greek signifies Deaf as well as Dumb, for all Persons who are Deaf from their Birth, are also Dumb. But it is probable this man was only accidentally Dumb, from the Power of the Devil, that had possessed him, and suppressed his Speech. It is observed that Christ cured, 1 Some that came on their own accord to him, as the Woman with her Bloody Flux. 2. Others that could not come, but were brought to him, as the Paralytick before mentioned in this Chapter, who was willingly brought. 3. Others, who neither came, nor were willingly brought, but he occasionally met, Luk. 7.12. Ioh. 5.5. & 9.1. Others, that were brought without their Consent, as the Demoniack before mentioned, and this, in this Verse; his Design was, by these Operations to shew himself the Son of God, and therefore did not always stay for Peoples voluntarily offering him occasions, but sometimes took them, when they were not voluntarily offered, to shew the freeness of his Grace.
