SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:30
Y llegaron a l muchas personas, que tenían consigo cojos, ciegos, mudos, mancos, y muchos otros enfermos ; y los pusieron a los pies de Jess, y los san;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:30
Verse 30. Those that were-maimed] kullouv. Wetstein has fully proved that those who had lost a hand, foot, &c., were termed kulloi by the Greeks. Kypke has shown, from Hippocrates, that the word was also used to signify those who had distorted or dislocated legs, knees, hands, &c. Mr. Wakefield is fully of opinion that it means here those who had lost a limb, and brings an incontestable proof from chap. xviii. 8; Mark ix. 43. "If thy hand cause thee to offend, CUT IT OFF; it is better for thee to enter into life (kullov) WITHOUT A LIMB, than, having thy TWO hands, to go away into hell." What an astonishing manifestation of omnific and creative energy must the reproduction of a hand, foot, &c., be at the word or touch of Jesus! As this was a mere act of creative power, like that of multiplying the bread, those who allow that the above is the meaning of the word will hardly attempt to doubt the proper Divinity of Christ. Creation, in any sense of the word, i.e. causing something to exist that had no existence before, can belong only to God, because it is an effect of an unlimited power; to say that such power could be delegated to a person is to say that the person to whom it is delegated becomes, for the time being, the omnipotent God; and that God, who has thus clothed a creature with his omnipotence, ceases to be omnipotent himself; for there cannot be two omnipotents, nor can the Supreme Being delegate his omnipotence to another, and have it at the same time. I confess, then, that this is to me an unanswerable argument for the Divinity of our blessed Lord. Others may doubt; I can't help believing.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And great multitudes came unto him , etc.] From the adjacent places; having heard of his being where he was; and who had either attended on him before, or, however, the fame of him, and his miracles, had reached their ears: these flocked to him, having with them, in their hands, or arms, or upon their backs, or shoulders, leading some, and carrying others, in some form or another, those that were lame ; either in their legs, or arms: blind ; in one eye, or both, and that either from their birth, or since: dumb : the word signifies both deaf and dumb: these often meet in the same person: and if a man is born deaf, he is always dumb: maimed : having lost a limb, an arm, or a leg, or so enfeebled by some disease or another, as the palsy, that their limbs were useless to them. The Persic version reads it leprous: and many others ; who were afflicted with various other diseases, too many to be mentioned particularly: and cast them down at Jesus feet ; to ease themselves of their burdens, and with a view to move his compassion, believing he was able to cure them: nor do they say a word to him, or desire him to relieve these miserable objects; thinking it was enough to present them to him, and not doubting at all, but he would show favour to them: and he healed them ; immediately, either by a word speaking, or by touching them, or by putting his hands on them, or without any such outward sign, through a divine power proceeding from him, which, at once, removed all their disorders and complaints.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-39 - Whatever our case is, the only way to find ease and relief, is to la it at Christ's feet, to submit it to him, and refer it to his disposal Those who would have spiritual healing from Christ, must be ruled as he pleases. See what work sin has made; what various diseases human bodie are subject to. Here were such diseases as fancy could neither gues the cause nor the cure of, yet these were subject to the command of Christ. The spiritual cures that Christ works are wonderful. When blin souls are made to see by faith, the dumb to speak in prayer, the maime and the lame to walk in holy obedience, it is to be wondered at. Hi power was also shown to the multitude, in the plentiful provision he made for them: the manner is much the same as before. All did eat, an were filled. Those whom Christ feeds, he fills. With Christ there is bread enough, and to spare; supplies of grace for more than seek it and for those that seek for more. Christ sent away the people. Thoug he had fed them twice, they must not look for miracles to find their daily bread. Let them go home to their callings and their own tables Lord, increase our faith, and pardon our unbelief, teaching us to liv upon thy fulness and bounty, for all things pertaining to this life and that which is to come __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
30. Cast them down (erriyan). Very graphic. Lit., flung them down; not carelessly, but in haste, because so many were coming on the same errand.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
15:30 {And they cast them down at his feet} (kai eriyan autous para tous podas autou). A very strong word, flung them down, "not carelessly, but in haste, because so many were coming on the same errand" (Vincent). It was a great day for "they glorified the God of Israel."
