SCRIPTURE

"And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day." — Luke 5:26 (ASV)

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.
