Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?”

Now the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they began to wonder why he was delayed in the holy place.

Completely baffled, they said, “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed.

All were speaking well of him, and were amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth. They said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”

When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and discovered that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus.
