Matthew 15:29-31 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

Healings. A general survey takes the place of Mk.'s (Mark 7:31-37) story of the cure of the deaf mute, perhaps because of the use by Jesus of material means and groaning. Similarly the story of the blind man (Mark 8:22-26) is omitted, though in compensation Mt. has given Matthew 9:27-33. It is curious that the sick were brought up into the mountain.

Matthew 15:29-31

29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
