Context of Matthew 9:30

28Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they answered. 29He touched their eyes and said, “What you have believed will be done for you!” Then they could see. He warned them, “Don’t let anyone know about this!” 31But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that region. 32As they were leaving, some people brought a man to Jesus. The man was unable to talk because he was possessed by a demon.
