What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him." Needs must it be believed that the name of Christ remits sins, seeing it produces even such effects as this.
Oecumenius
The phrase, "they recognized him," is appropriate, as if he were from this time ignorant of the miracle. The same also concerning the man born blind. (see Jn. 9:1) We, too, have been accustomed to use this expression with respect to those whom we have barely come to know.
Western Saints
Bede
And they were filled with wonder and amazement. Another Edition for amazement, which is a state of being beyond one's mind, does not properly place 'admiration'; because greater amazement sometimes leads the mind to a state beyond, and transfers it to higher modes of thought beyond the usual manner of thinking.
