Mark 7:37. And were beyond measure astonished Both at what was done, and at the amiable spirit of him who did it. And said, He hath done all things well Performed the most extraordinary cures in the most humble and graceful manner. He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak And that, not only in this, but in many other instances. Whereas there were many that hated and persecuted him, as an evil doer; these are ready to witness for him, not only that he has done no evil,... read more
71. Ministry in the Decapolis (Matthew 15:29-39; Mark 7:31-8:10)From the Mediterranean towns of Phoenicia, Jesus returned to the region around the Sea of Galilee, then continued on into the Decapolis, where the population was largely Gentile. It seems that for a period his ministry was mainly among Gentiles, and many became believers in the God of Israel (Matthew 15:29-31; Mark 7:31). One of the people he healed was a deaf and dumb man. Because of the man’s deafness, Jesus used actions rather... read more
And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.Note that the people, when they saw the cure, did not say merely that "he has healed this man," but that "he has done all things well," showing that they recognized in the one example of it the mightiness of the power that could do "all things." read more
Mark 7:37. He hath done all things well— Καλως,— in a most amiable and graceful manner, as well as to the utmost perfection. They were struck with his sympathetic tenderness for the afflicted, and admired his modesty in concealing the cure, and hiding it under the veil of second causes. Happy would it be, if all his followers, and especially his ministers, would learn of him, who was thus meek and lowly; neither acting as in their own strength, when they attempt a spiritual cure, nor... read more
37. And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well—reminding us, says TRENCH, of the words of the first creation (Genesis 1:31, Septuagint), upon which we are thus not unsuitably thrown back, for Christ's work is in the truest sense "a new creation," he maketh both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak—"and they glorified the God of Israel" (Matthew 15:31). See on Mark 7:31. read more
B. The first cycle of self-revelation to the disciples 6:31-7:37Mark arranged selected events in Jesus’ training of His disciples to show how He brought them to a deeper understanding of who He was and to a deeper commitment to Himself. Jesus led them through two similar series of experiences to teach them these lessons. He had to do it twice because the disciples where slow to learn. read more
6. The preliminary confession of faith 7:37 (cf. Matthew 15:29-31)Mark expressed the crowd’s amazement with a strong word that appears only here in the New Testament: hyperperissos. It means "extremely overwhelmed" (cf. Mark 1:22; Mark 6:2; Mark 10:26; Mark 11:18). Their statement that Jesus did everything well recalls Genesis 1:31 where Moses wrote that God saw that everything that He had created was good. The restoration of hearing to the deaf and speaking to the dumb was the work of God (cf.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 7:36-37
He charged them ( διεστέλλετο ). The word is a strong one: "he gave them clear and positive orders." The injunction seems to have been given, both to the deaf and dumb man, and to those who brought him. And it was given partly, no doubt, for his own sake, and for reasons connected with his gradual manifestation of himself to the world, and partly for the instruction of his disciples, and to show that he did not desire by his miracles to win the vain applause of men. St. Augustine says... read more
