When this sound ¹  occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, ²  because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

When it rises up, the mighty are terrified, at its thrashing about they withdraw. ¹ 

When ¹  he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were bewildered and helpless, ²  like sheep without a shepherd.

Then ¹  they went out and ran from the tomb, for terror and bewilderment had seized them. ²  And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Pharaoh will think ¹  regarding the Israelites, ‘They are wandering around confused ²  in the land – the desert has closed in on them.’ ³ 

When ¹  Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching,

And the men ¹  were amazed and said, ²  “What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!” ³ 

All the crowds were amazed and said, “Could this one be the Son of David?”

The ¹  disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said, “Then who can be saved?” ² 

And all who heard Jesus ¹  were astonished ²  at his understanding and his answers.

For ¹  Peter ²  and all who were with him were astonished ³  at the catch of fish that they had taken,

All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

And they paid close attention to him because he had amazed them for a long time with his magic.

For this reason my stomach churns; ¹  cramps overwhelm me like the contractions of a woman in labor. I am disturbed ²  by what I hear, horrified by what I see.

The messengers ¹  scurried forth ²  with the king’s order. ³  The edict was issued in Susa the citadel. While the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in an uproar! ⁴ 

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!”

The disciples were astonished at these words. But again Jesus said to them, ¹  “Children, how hard it is ²  to enter the kingdom of God!

For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate. ¹ 

not that there really is another gospel, ¹  but ²  there are some who are disturbing you and wanting ³  to distort the gospel of Christ.

Dear friends, do not be astonished ¹  that a trial by fire is occurring among you, ²  as though something strange were happening to you.
