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 But that you may know that the Son of man hath the power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say to thee to: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house.

25 And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay: and he went away to his own house, glorifying God.

26 And all were astonished: and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things to-day.

27 And after these things, he went forth and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him: Follow me.

28 And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him.
