This phrase captures the reaction of the crowd to the miraculous works of Jesus, particularly following the healing of a demon-possessed boy (<a href="/luke/9-37.htm">Luke 9:37-42</a>). The term "astonished" indicates a profound sense of wonder and awe, which is a common response to divine intervention throughout the Bible (e.g., <a href="/exodus/15-11.htm">Exodus 15:11</a>, <a href="/psalms/86-10.htm">Psalm 86:10</a>). The "greatness of God" reflects His omnipotence and sovereignty, themes prevalent in the Old Testament (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a>) and demonstrated through Jesus' ministry. This moment underscores the divine authority of Jesus, affirming His identity as the Son of God and fulfilling prophecies about the Messiah's power (<a href="/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5-6</a>).While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, The crowd's marveling highlights the public nature of Jesus' miracles and teachings, which were often performed in the presence of many witnesses (e.g., feeding the 5,000 in <a href="/luke/9-10.htm">Luke 9:10-17</a>). This public ministry served to authenticate His message and mission, drawing parallels to the works of prophets like Elijah and Elisha, who also performed miracles to demonstrate God's power (<a href="/1_kings/18-36.htm">1 Kings 18:36-39</a>, <a href="/2_kings/4-32.htm">2 Kings 4:32-37</a>). The continuous amazement of the people points to the unprecedented nature of Jesus' works, which were unlike anything seen before, fulfilling the expectations of a coming prophet greater than Moses (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-15.htm">Deuteronomy 18:15</a>).He said to His disciples, This transition marks a shift from public demonstration to private instruction, a common pattern in Jesus' ministry where He would explain deeper truths to His disciples away from the crowds (<a href="/mark/4-34.htm">Mark 4:34</a>). The disciples, as Jesus' closest followers, were being prepared for their future roles as leaders of the early Church. This moment of teaching often involved revealing the mysteries of the Kingdom of God (<a href="/matthew/13-11.htm">Matthew 13:11</a>) and preparing them for the challenges ahead, including His impending death and resurrection, which He had begun to foretell (<a href="/luke/9-22.htm">Luke 9:22</a>). This private instruction underscores the importance of discipleship and the transmission of Jesus' teachings to future generations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> Central figure in the passage, performing miracles and teaching His disciples. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> Followers of Jesus who are being taught and prepared for future ministry. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_crowd.htm">The Crowd</a> The people who witness Jesus' miracles and are astonished by His works. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_greatness_of_god.htm">The Greatness of God</a> The divine power and majesty displayed through Jesus' miracles. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_setting.htm">The Setting</a> This event takes place during Jesus' ministry in Galilee, where He performs miracles and teaches.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/r/recognizing_god's_greatness.htm">Recognizing God's Greatness</a> The crowd's astonishment at Jesus' miracles should remind us to recognize and revere the greatness of God in our own lives. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_faith.htm">The Role of Faith</a> Witnessing God's power requires faith.

Here greatness would, perhaps, be the best equivalent. St. Luke describes the emotion which the men of the East feel when they say "God is great."The division of verses here is singularly unfortunate. The new paragraph should clearly begin, as above, with the words, "But while they wondered."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 43. - And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples. Once more were kindled the disciples' hopes of an earthly royalty in the Person of that strange Messiah. For was he not Messiah after all, who with a word worked such stupendous works as the miracle they had just witnessed? But Jesus read their thoughts, and again tells them (in ver. 44) of the terrible doom which awaited him. They must remember there was no earthly crown or human sovereignty for him. <a href="/commentaries/luke/9-43.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. they were all astonished Ἐξεπλήσσοντο (Exeplēssonto) Verb - Imperfect Indicative Middle or Passive - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1605.htm">Strong's 1605: </a> To strike with panic or shock; I amaze, astonish.
