Strong's Lexicon thaumazó: To marvel, to wonder, to be amazed Original Word: θαυμάζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: thaumazó Pronunciation: thou-mad'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (thou-mad'-zo) Definition: (a) intrans: I wonder, marvel, (b) trans: I wonder at, admire. Meaning: To wonder, marvel, be amazed, or be astonished. It conveys a sense of admiration or surprise, often in response to something extraordinary or unexpected. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "θαῦμα" (thauma), meaning "wonder" or "marvel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 8539: תָּמַהּ (tamah) • to be astounded, amazed. • Strong's Hebrew 6381: פָּלָא (pala) • to be wonderful, to be extraordinary, to be difficult. These Hebrew terms similarly convey a sense of wonder or amazement, often in response to God's miraculous deeds or profound wisdom, paralleling the Greek usage in the New Testament. Usage: The verb θαυμάζω is used in the New Testament to describe reactions of amazement or astonishment, often in response to the works and teachings of Jesus, as well as other miraculous events. It can also describe the reaction of people to unexpected or significant occurrences. Context: The Greek verb θαυμάζω appears frequently in the New Testament, capturing the sense of wonder and amazement that often accompanied the ministry of Jesus Christ. This term is used to describe the reaction of crowds and individuals to Jesus' miracles, teachings, and authority. For instance, in Matthew 8:27, the disciples "marveled" at Jesus' command over the winds and the sea, saying, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!" (BSB). Similarly, in John 7:15, the Jews "marveled" at Jesus' teaching, questioning how He had such learning without formal education. The use of θαυμάζω is not limited to positive reactions; it can also describe astonishment at disbelief or unexpected behavior. In Mark 6:6, Jesus "marveled" at the unbelief of the people in His hometown. This dual usage highlights the range of human responses to divine intervention and revelation. The term is also employed in parables and teachings to illustrate the unexpected nature of God's kingdom and the reversal of human expectations. In Luke 7:9, Jesus "marveled" at the faith of the centurion, a Gentile, saying, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith" (BSB). Overall, θαυμάζω encapsulates the profound impact of divine encounters on human perception, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of God's work in the world.
