Luke 5:26

26 And great wonder took all, and they magnified God; and they were full-filled with great dread, and said [+and were filled with great dread, saying], For we have seen marvelous things to day.

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 ye know, that man's Son hath power in earth to forgive sins, he said to the sick man in palsy, I say to thee, rise up, take thy bed, and go into thine house.

25 And at once [And anon] he rose up before them, and took the bed in which he lay, and went into his house, and magnified God [magnifying God].

26 And great wonder took all, and they magnified God; and they were full-filled with great dread, and said [+and were filled with great dread, saying], For we have seen marvelous things to day.

27 And after these things Jesus went out, and saw a publican, Levi by name, sitting at the tollbooth. And he said to him, Follow thou me;

28 and when he had left all things, he rose up, and followed him.
