Mark 7:37

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. Isaiah 35:3-6). Matthew recorded that Jesus healed many other people with various afflictions at this time (Matthew 15:29-31).
