Topical Encyclopedia

The term "astonished" in the Bible often describes a reaction of overwhelming surprise or amazement, typically in response to witnessing the miraculous works of God, the teachings of Jesus, or the unfolding of divine events. This reaction is frequently recorded in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, where the life and ministry of Jesus Christ elicited profound wonder among His followers and observers.

Old Testament Context

While the specific term "astonished" is more prevalent in the New Testament, the Old Testament also contains instances where individuals or groups experience profound amazement at God's actions. For example, in Exodus 15:11, the Israelites express awe at God's mighty acts: "Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?" This sense of wonder and astonishment is a recurring theme as God reveals His power and faithfulness to His people.

New Testament Context

In the New Testament, the Greek word often translated as "astonished" is "ἐκπλήσσω" (ekplēssō), which conveys a sense of being struck with amazement. This reaction is frequently associated with the teachings and miracles of Jesus Christ. For instance, in Matthew 7:28-29 , it is recorded, "When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes." Here, the astonishment arises from the authority and wisdom with which Jesus spoke, distinguishing Him from other religious teachers of the time.

Similarly, in Mark 6:51-52 , after Jesus walks on water and calms the storm, the disciples' reaction is described: "Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And they were utterly astonished, for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened." This passage highlights the disciples' struggle to fully comprehend the divine nature and power of Jesus, leading to their astonishment.

Astonishment at Miracles

The miracles performed by Jesus often left onlookers astonished. In Mark 2:12 , after Jesus heals a paralytic, the crowd's reaction is noted: "And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, 'We have never seen anything like this!'" This astonishment not only reflects the miraculous nature of Jesus' works but also serves to glorify God, as those who witnessed the miracles recognized the divine power at work.

Astonishment at the Resurrection

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is perhaps the most astonishing event recorded in the New Testament. In Mark 16:5-6 , when the women visit the tomb and find it empty, they encounter an angel who tells them, "Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him." The resurrection defies human understanding and elicits a profound sense of astonishment, as it confirms Jesus' victory over death and His divine nature.

Theological Implications

Astonishment in the biblical narrative often serves to underscore the divine authority and power of God and Jesus Christ. It highlights the human inability to fully grasp the magnitude of God's works and the mystery of His plans. This reaction of astonishment invites believers to a deeper faith and trust in God's sovereignty, encouraging them to recognize His hand at work in the world and in their lives.

In summary, the concept of being "astonished" in the Bible is closely tied to the revelation of God's power and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. It serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring nature of God's actions and the call to respond with faith and worship.

(imp. & p. p.) of Astonish.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ASTONISHED; ASTONIED

as-ton'-isht, as-ton'-id (shamem, "astonished," the root idea being "silent," i.e. struck dumb with amazement; ekplessomai, "to be struck with astonishment," as if by a blow or a shock; existemi, "to amaze," "to throw into wonderment"; thambeomai, "to astonish" to the point of fright): The state of being surprised, startled, stunned by some exceptional wonder, some overwhelming event or miracle, as e.g. Nebuchadnezzar's amazement at the miracle in the burning fiery furnace (Daniel 3:24) (tewah, "astonished"); of the passer-by at the desolation of Babylon (Jeremiah 50:13). The personality, teaching and works of Jesus were so wonderful, Divine, supernatural, as to awaken emotions of surprise and awe never before known in the presence of man.

The people "were astonished out of measure" at His doctrine (Mark 10:26 the King James Version); "astonished with a great astonishment" at His raising the dead (Mark 5:42 the King James Version). The gift of the Holy Ghost to the Gentiles was in like manner a source of astonishment to those Jews who believed through the power of Peter's preaching (Acts 10:45 the King James Version). The miracle of regeneration today, which renews and transforms debased and fallen men into saints, makes the same impression on an observing world.
