Mark 7:37
7:37. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
In the preparation time, Jesus is working with His love to make all things good. It means that Jesus works to fix the senses, especially the deaf and the mute up to perfection--'it is very good'.
The meanings of the deaf and the mute are as follows:
- Physically.
The deaf means that one cannot hear others' words.
The mute means that one cannot speak well with others.
So, the deaf and the mute means that one has separation with others, so he suffers. - Spiritually.
The deaf means that one does not want to hear and understand the Word. It is the same as ignoring God's calling.
The deaf means that one cannot speak or pray to God. His prayer is ignored by God. He calls God, but He ignores him.

7:12. "Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.
7:13. "Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts.
7:14. "But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate."
So, the deaf and the mute means that one has separation with God.
