The Gospel of Matthew shortens the story dramatically (Matthew 8:28–34) and writes not of one possessed man, but of two. The individual possessed by Legion is not the same individual as the second possessed man, who is possessed by a different demon. [6] In this version, Jesus does not ask for the demon's name, which is considered an ...
Exorcising the blind and mute man by James Tissot, late 19th century. Exorcising the blind and mute man is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels. [1] It appears in Matthew 12:22-32, Luke 11:14-23 and Mark 3:20-30. [2] [3] [4] According to the Gospels, Jesus healed a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, so that he
It appears in Matthew 9:32–34, immediately following the account of Christ healing two blind men (Matthew 9:27–31). According to the Gospel of Matthew, just as the two blind men were healed by Jesus were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew shortens it more dramatically, changes the possessed man to two men (a particular stylistic device of this writer) and changes the location to "the country of the Gadarenes". This is probably because the author was aware that Gerasa is actually around 50 km (31 mi) away from the Sea of Galilee —although Gadara is still ...
The exorcism of a boy possessed by a demon, or a boy with a mute spirit, is one of the miracles attributed to Jesus reported in the synoptic Gospels, involving the healing of a demonically possessed boy through exorcism. It is in all Synoptic Gospels: Mark 9:17-29, [1] Matthew 17:14-21, [2] Luke 9:40-44. [3]
All three Synoptic Gospels mention this miracle, Matthew writes about two possessed men instead of just one, and only some manuscripts of his Gospel name the location as Gergesa, while the other copies, as well as all versions of Luke and Mark, mention either Gadara or Gerasa (see Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39, Matthew 8:28-34).
This verse also appears in Luke 11:14, although in that account the demon-possessed man was only dumb. Luke may have omitted his blindness or he may be recounting a different miracle. It appears that the demon was making the man both blind and mute. Allegorically when the devil has been driven out, one sees the light of faith, and then praises God.
The synoptic gospels portray Jesus exorcising at sunset just after he had healed the mother of Peter's wife, in Matthew 8:16–17, Mark 1:32–34 and Luke 4:40–41. [ 1 ] According to the Gospels, after Jesus had healed the mother of Peter's wife, when evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the ...
