Luke 5:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:26

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God
Not the Pharisees, and doctors of the law, but the common people:

and were filled with fear;
of the Divine Being, whose presence and power they were sensible must be in this case:

saying, we have seen strange things today;
paradoxes, things wonderful, unthought of, unexpected, and incredible by carnal reason, and what were never seen, nor known before; as that a man, who was so enfeebled by the palsy, that he was obliged to be carried on a bed by four men, yet, on a sudden, by a word speaking, rose up, and carried his bed, on his back, home.

Luke 5:26 In-Context

24 I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." Then he said to the paralyzed man, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home."

25 The man immediately stood up in front of them and picked up the stretcher he had been lying on. Praising God, he went home.

26 Everyone was amazed and praised God. They were filled with awe and said, "We've seen things today we can hardly believe!"

27 After that, Jesus left. He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting in a tax office. Jesus said to him, "Follow me!"

28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.
