“And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.”
Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, we have seen remarkable things today — everyone (hapantes) was amazed — even the Pharisees and teachers of the law who had been thinking about blasphemy. The filled with awe (eplēsthēsan phobou, filled with fear/awe) communicates the theophanic response — the presence of divine power producing reverent fear. We have seen remarkable things (paradoxa, paradoxes, things contrary to expectation) today: the self-description of the witnesses.
