²⁵ At once the man stood up before them, picked up ·his mat [^Lwhat he had been lying on], and went home, ·praising [glorifying] God. ²⁶ All the people were ·fully amazed [astounded; astonished] and began to ·praise [glorify] God. They were filled with ·much respect [awe; fear] and said, “Today we have seen ·amazing [remarkable; incredible] things!”
