| A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g1611 | Greek: ekstasis |
Amaze, Amazement:
is, lit., "a standing out" (ek, "out of," stasis, "a standing"). Eng. "ecstasy" is a transliteration. It is translated "amazement" in Act 3:10. It was said of any displacement, and especially, with reference to the mind, of that alteration of the normal condition by which the person is thrown into a state of surprise or fear, or both; or again, in which a person is so transported out of his natural state that he falls into a trance, Act 10:10; 11:5; 22:17. As to the other meaning, the RV has "amazement" in Mar 5:42; Luk 5:26, but "astonishment" in Mar 16:8.
See TRANCE.
| A-2 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2285 | Greek: thambos |
Amaze, Amazement:
"amazement, wonder," is probably connected with a root signifying "to render immovable;" it is frequently associated with terror as well as astonishment, as with the verb (No. 3, below) in Act 9:6. It occurs in Luk 4:36; 5:9; Act 3:10.
See WONDER.
Note: Ptoesis signifies "terror," not "amazement," 1Pe 3:6, RV.
| B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g1839 | Greek: existemi |
Amaze, Amazement:
akin to A, No. 1, lit. means "to stand out from." Like the noun, this is used with two distinct meanings:
(a) in the sense of amazement, the word should be invariably rendered "amazed," as in the RV, e.g., in the case of Simon Magus (for AV, "bewitched"), Act 8:9, 11. It is used, in the Passive Voice, of Simon himself in Act 8:13, RV, "he was amazed," for AV, "wondered." "Amaze" is preferable to "astonish" throughout;
(b) in Mar 3:21; 2Cr 5:13 it is used with its other meaning of being beside oneself.
See BESIDE ONESELF (to be), BEWITCH, WONDER.
| B-2 | Verb | Strong's Number: g1605 | Greek: ekplesso |
Amaze, Amazement:
from ek, "out of," plesso, "to strike," lit., "to strike out," signifies "to be exceedingly struck in mind, to be astonished" (ek, intensive). The English "astonish" should be used for this verb, and "amaze" for existemi, as in the RV; see Mat 19:25; Luk 2:48; 9:43.
| B-3 | Verb | Strong's Number: g2284 | Greek: thambeo |
Amaze, Amazement:
akin to A, No. 2, is used in Mar 1:27; 10:24, 32 (and Act 9:6, AV). The RV has "amazed" in each place; AV, "astonished," in Mar 10:24.
| B-4 | Verb | Strong's Number: g1568 | Greek: ekthambeo |
Amaze, Amazement:
an intensive form of No. 3, is found in Mark's Gospel only; in Mar 9:15, "were greatly amazed;" in Mar 14:33, AV, "were sore amazed;" in Mar 16:5, RV, "were amazed," AV, "were affrighted;" in Mar 16:6, RV, "be not amazed," AV, "be not affrighted."
See AFFRIGHTED.
