And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Ver. 23. And all the people were amazed] Admiration bred philosophy, saith the heathen. It bred superstition, saith the Scripture, when the world went wondering after the beast. a We may say, too, that it bred piety in this people, and still we see the word never works kindly, till men hear and admire it. Let others censure with the Pharisees; let us wonder with the multitude.
a Admiratio peperit philosophiam,Revelation 13:3 .
