Context of Matthew 9:31

29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done for you according to your faith.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows about this!” But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout that land. 32And as they were going out, behold, a demon-possessed man who was unable to speak was brought to Him. 33And after the demon was cast out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
