When the evil spirit was driven out [by Jesus] the [former] deaf-mute began to speak, and the crowds marveled, saying, “No one in Israel has ever seen this done before.”
And when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following [along], “It is true when I tell to you, I have never found [anyone with] such great faith, not [even] among the Israelites.
So, he got up and immediately picked up his cot and walked out in front of them all, so that everyone was amazed and gave honor to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this before.”
