“For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:”
For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken — the astonishment (thambos, amazement, awe) of the whole group grounds the theological response in the experiential reality of the miracle. They are not astonished by an idea or a teaching but by a catch of fish that should not have been possible. The miraculous is the occasion for the theological recognition.
