Bible Commentary

Matthew 12:22-32

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The healing of a man blind and dumb, and the consequent blasphemy of the Pharisees. The miracle leads them to the extreme of spiritual opposition. (On the assimilation to our Matthew 12:22-24, found in Matthew 9:32-34, see notes there.

) The parallel passages are Luke 11:14-23 and, for the blasphemy and our Lord's consequent defence only, Mark 3:22-30.
