SCRIPTURE

"And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:" — Matthew 15:30 (ASV)

Blind, dumb —St. Mark (Mark 7:31–37) relates one memorable instance of a work of healing in this context. Here we find a great collection of miracles, unrecorded in detail, which influenced the crowd and led them to repeated expressions of praise in the form of a doxology—they glorified the God of Israel.
