26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen extraordinary things today."
26 The people rubbed their eyes, incredulous - and then also gave glory to God. Awestruck, they said, "We've never seen anything like that!"
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today!"
26 Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe, and they praised God, exclaiming, "We have seen amazing things today!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 5:26
Commentary on Luke 5:17-26
(Read Luke 5:17-26)
How many are there in our assemblies, where the gospel is preached, who do not sit under the word, but sit by! It is to them as a tale that is told them, not as a message that is sent to them. Observe the duties taught and recommended to us by the history of the paralytic. In applying to Christ, we must be very pressing and urgent; that is an evidence of faith, and is very pleasing to Christ, and prevailing with him. Give us, Lord, the same kind of faith with respect to thy ability and willingness to heal our souls. Give us to desire the pardon of sin more than any earthly blessing, or life itself. Enable us to believe thy power to forgive sins; then will our souls cheerfully arise and go where thou pleasest.
