Albert Barnes Commentary Mark 7:32

"And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him." — Mark 7:32 (ASV)

They bring. That is, his friends brought, or the people brought.

One that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech. Not entirely dumb, but who spoke indistinctly or with difficulty. His deafness might not have been of long standing; and his speech, therefore, not entirely ruined.

To put his hand upon him. That is, to cure him. Blessings were commonly imparted by laying on the hands.
