And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
And there came a fear on all - a religious awe, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people - after long absence more than bringing back the days of Elijah and Elisha. For they, though they raised the dead, did so laboriously; Jesus immediately, and with a word: they confessedly as servants and creatures, by a power not their own; Jesus by that inherent "virtue," which "went out of Him," in every cure which He performed. Compare 1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; and see the note at Mark 5:30.
