This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
37. ὑπερπερισσῶς. Here only in Bibl. Grk, and perhaps nowhere else. see on 2Co 7:4.

ἐξεπλήσσοντο. See on Mar 1:22. This is simple history; Mk is not suggesting in an allegory the conversion of the Gentiles. He has not told us that the crowd was composed of Gentiles.

ποιεῖ. Mt. seems to have understood this as implying a number of miracles, and they appear to be required by this verse and to explain the great multitude in Mar 8:1.

ἀλάλους λαλεῖν. The combination of words is doubtless deliberate; the speechless to speak. Cf. Mar 9:24; Isa 35:5. Syr-Sin. has “He maketh the deaf-mutes to hear and to speak.”
