The Greek verb “θαυμάζω”

Found most often in Matthew-Acts, but also used in Gal. 1:6; 2 Thess. 1:10; 1 Jn. 3:13; Rev. 13:3; 17:6-8, the Greek verb “thaumazo” meant “amazed,” “to wonder,” “be astonished.”   The nearly fifty occurrences of this New Testament verb most often describe the human reaction to Jesus’ miracles (see Mt. 8:27; 9:33; 15:31; Mk. 5:20; Lk. 8:25; Jn. 7:21).
