1. Jesus teaches the people out of Peter's ship;
4. shows how he will make them fishers of men;
12. cleanses the leper;
16. prays in the desert;
17. heals a paralytic;
27. calls Matthew the tax collector;
29. eats with sinners, as being the physician of souls;

Everyone was taken with amazement
The phrase "Everyone was taken with amazement" captures the collective reaction of the crowd witnessing Jesus' miraculous healing of the paralytic. The Greek word for "amazement" is "ἔκστασις" (ekstasis), which implies a state of being astonished or overwhelmed beyond normal comprehension. This word suggests a profound, almost ecstatic reaction, indicating that the event was not just surprising but deeply moving and transformative. Historically, such reactions were common in the presence of divine acts, reflecting the human recognition of God's power breaking into the ordinary world.

and glorified God
The act of glorifying God is a central theme in the Gospels, where the Greek word "δοξάζω" (doxazō) is used. It means to honor, praise, or magnify. In the context of this verse, the crowd's glorification of God signifies their acknowledgment of His supreme authority and benevolence. This response is consistent with the Jewish tradition of giving glory to God for His mighty works, as seen throughout the Old Testament. It underscores the belief that miracles are not just acts of compassion but also revelations of God's glory and presence among His people.

They were filled with awe
The phrase "filled with awe" uses the Greek word "φόβος" (phobos), which can mean fear, reverence, or awe. In this context, it conveys a deep respect and wonder at the divine power displayed by Jesus. This awe is not merely fear but a recognition of the holy and the miraculous, a common reaction in biblical narratives when humans encounter the divine. It reflects a moment of spiritual awakening and realization of God's active role in the world.

and said, 'We have seen remarkable things today.'
The declaration "We have seen remarkable things today" uses the Greek word "παράδοξος" (paradoxos), meaning extraordinary or beyond expectation. This statement encapsulates the crowd's realization that they have witnessed something beyond the natural order, a divine intervention that defies human understanding. The use of "today" emphasizes the immediacy and impact of the miracle, marking it as a significant event in their lives. This acknowledgment serves as a testament to Jesus' authority and the breaking in of God's kingdom through His works, encouraging believers to recognize and testify to God's ongoing miracles in their own lives.

(26) They glorified God.--Noticeable as common to all the three reports. The precise expression, "We have seen strange things to-day" (literally, things beyond expectation), is peculiar to St. Luke.

Verse 26. - We have seen strange things to-day. The strange things (παράδοξα) alluded especially to the miracle which, as it were, solemnly authenticated the sublime claim to forgiveness of sins on the part of Jesus.
