Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of wonder or amazement is פָּלָא (pala, Strong's H6381), which means to be extraordinary or to perform a miracle.

Usage: The verb "thaumazó" is used in the New Testament to express a sense of wonder, amazement, or astonishment. It often describes the reaction of people to the miraculous works and teachings of Jesus Christ. It can also denote a sense of admiration or surprise at something unexpected or extraordinary.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of wonder and amazement were common responses to events or phenomena that defied ordinary understanding. In the context of the New Testament, "thaumazó" captures the reaction of individuals who witnessed the divine power and authority of Jesus, which stood in stark contrast to the natural order and human expectations. This term reflects the cultural appreciation for the miraculous and the divine, which was prevalent in both Jewish and Hellenistic societies.
