Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon {\cf2\super [167]} inside him. Jesus healed the man, and the man could talk and see.
The man said, “Lord, be kind to my son. He has epilepsy {\cf2\super [242]} and is suffering very much. My son often falls into the fire or into the water.
People brought their small children to Jesus, so that Jesus could touch them. But the followers told the people to stop bringing their children to Jesus.
The woman was not a Jew. She was Greek, born in Phoenicia, an area in Syria. The woman begged Jesus to force the demon {\cf2\super [90]} out of her daughter.
The spirit attacks my son and throws him on the ground. My son foams from his mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they could not.”
Jesus saw that all the people were running there to see what was happening. So Jesus spoke to the evil spirit. Jesus said, “You evil spirit that makes this boy deaf and stops him from talking—I command you to come out of this boy and never enter him again!”
One time Jesus was sending a demon {\cf2\super [201]} out of a man that could not talk. When the demon came out, the man was able to speak. The people were amazed.
The man heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was now in Galilee. So the man went to Jesus \{in Cana\}. He begged Jesus to come to Capernaum and heal his son. His son was almost dead.
