Commentators note that the crowd's praise, "He has done all things well," echoes God's declaration in Genesis 1:31 that His creation was "very good." This suggests Jesus' miracles are not just repairs but acts of new creation, restoring the world to God's perfect design and pointing to His divine identity.
