In the New Testament, Jesus encounters individuals possessed by demons that render them unable to speak or hear. The Gospels, including Mark and Luke, record such instances, where Jesus casts out these demons, restoring the afflicted persons' ability to speak and hear. The phenomenon is also noted in Matthew, where Jesus heals a man possessed by a demon, and gives His disciples authority to cast out unclean spirits, as seen in Matthew 10. The Bible also acknowledges that God is sovereign over all forms of disability, as seen in Exodus, where He declares that He makes both the deaf and the mute.
