The healing of the demon-possessed man
The article explores an episode in Jesus' ministry in Capernaum in which he heals a demon-possessed man, confronting the Pharisees who attribute his power to Satan. Jesus identifies this as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, illustrating his use of parables to teach his disciples.
Matthew 12.22-24 (King James Version) :Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
