'Astonished' in the Bible
They were astonished at His teaching because, unlike the scribes, He was teaching them as one having authority.
When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom given to Him, and how are these miracles performed by His hands?
They were extremely astonished and said, “He has done everything well! He even makes deaf people hear, and people unable to speak, talk!”
But the disciples were astonished at His words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
So they were even more astonished, saying to one another, “Then who can be saved?”
They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.
Then the chief priests and the scribes heard it and started looking for a way to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished by His teaching.
