It conveys a sense of wonder and amazement, often in the context of divine actions or attributes. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight the miraculous or the extraordinary nature of God's works.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of wonder was often associated with the divine or the supernatural. The term θαυμάσιος would have been understood as describing phenomena or actions that surpassed human understanding and pointed to a higher power. In the context of the early Christian church, this term would have been used to emphasize the miraculous works of Jesus and the apostles, as well as the awe-inspiring nature of God's intervention in the world.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2297</b> <i>thaumásios</i> (an adjective) – wonderful, moving a person <i>within</i> (<i>personally</i>) at the sight (which can include the <i>selfish</i> reaction of becoming <i>indignant</i>) (only used in Mt 21;15). <a href="/greek/2296.htm">See 2296</a> (<i>thaumázō</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/2297.htm">2297</a> <i>/thaumásios</i> is used in the <i>plural</i> (substantively) in Mt 21:15.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adjective from <a href="/greek/2295.htm">thauma</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wonderful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wonderful things (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2297: θαυμάσιος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θαυμάσιος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θαυμάσια</span>, <span class="greek2">θαυμάσιον</span>, rarely of two terminations (<span class="greek2">θαῦμα</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Hesiod</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> (h.
