And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
Everyone was completely blown away and started praising God, but they were also kind of scared, saying, 'We just witnessed something we've never seen before.'
When God shows up, it's equal parts amazing and overwhelming, you know you're seeing something beyond this world.
