What Does Luke 11:14 Mean?
The scene shifts from teaching on prayer to a work of power. Jesus frees a man from a demon that had silenced him, and the first sign of deliverance is a voice: the dumb spake.
The wonder of the crowd opens a controversy that runs through the rest of the chapter. But the miracle itself preaches: where Jesus reigns, what evil has shut is opened, and the silenced learn to speak. Deliverance ends in testimony.
Luke 11:14 in the Original Language
