Context of Matthew 9:30

28Jesus went into a house and the blind men came to him there. Jesus asked them, ‘Do you believe that I can make your eyes become well?’ The men replied, ‘Yes, Master, we believe that you can do this.’ 29So Jesus touched the men's eyes. He said to them, ‘Because you believed in me, you will now see again.’ Then immediately the men could see again. Jesus said strongly to them, ‘You must not tell anyone about this.’ 31So the men went away. But they told everybody in that part of the country all about what Jesus had done for them. 32While those two men were leaving, some people brought another man to Jesus. This man could not speak because of a bad spirit in him.
