Amazement ( εκστασις ). Something out of its place, as the mind. Here the people were almost beside themselves as we say with the same idiom. See on Mr 5:42. So they kept glorifying God (imperfect tense, εδοξαζον ) and at the same time "were filled with fear" ( επλησθησαν φοβου, aorist passive).

Strange things ( παραδοξα ). Our very word paradox, contrary to ( παρα ) received opinion ( δοξα ). Plato, Xenophon, and Polybius use it. Here alone in the N.T.
