Commentary on Luke 5:26

Theological / Devotional

Strange things. Gr. paradoxa, from para, here meaning, “contrary to,” and doxa, “[popular] opinion,” hence meaning, “unexpected,” or “incredible.” Our word “paradox” is from this Greek word, and has a somewhat similar meaning. Of the three synoptic writers, Luke alone mentions all three aspects of the reaction of the people to this miracle — amazement, fear, and gratitude to God. See p. 208.
