Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who can make a person deaf or not able to speak? Who can make a person blind? Who can make a person able to see? {I am the One who can do all these things—}I am YAHWEH. [33]
Now the power of the Lord my Master had come on me the evening before that person came to me. \{God made me not able to speak.\} At the time that person came to me, the Lord had opened my mouth and let me speak again.
Jesus forced the demon to leave the man. Then the man that couldn’t talk was able to speak. The people were amazed and said, “We have never seen anything like this in Israel.”
Now, listen! You will not be able to talk until the day when these things happen. You will lose your speech. Why? Because you did not believe what I told you. But these things will really happen.”
