Astonishment (ἐκστάσει)
Better Rev., amazement, which carries the sense of bewilderment. Ἔκστασις, of which the English ecstasy is a transcript, is from ἐκ, out of, and ἵστημι, to place or put. Its primitive sense, therefore, is that of removal; hence of a man removed out of his senses. In Biblical Greek it is used in a modified sense, as here, Mar 16:8; Luk 5:26; Act 3:10, of amazement, often coupled with fear. In Act 10:10; Act 11:5; Act 22:17, it is used in the sense of our word ecstasy, and is rendered trance. |
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
