Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon." — Matthew 9:32 (ASV)
As a pair of patients leave the surgery, another poor creature comes in. Note the “behold.” The case is striking. He comes not freely or of his own accord, “they brought” him. Thus should we bring men to Jesus. He does not cry for help, for he is “a dumb man.” Let us open our mouths for the dumb. He is not himself, but he is “possessed with a devil.” Poor creature! Will anything be done for him?
As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

"As they went out." Do notice what a succession of mercies Christ dispensed; it was a sort of tempest of blessing, peal upon peal, following almost without intermission.
