SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:43

¶ Y todos estaban fuera de sí de la grandeza de Dios. Y maravill�ndose todos de todas las cosas que hacía, dijo a sus discípulos:

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 9:43

Verse 43. The mighty power] This majesty of God, megaleiothti tou qeou. They plainly saw that it was a case in which any power inferior to that of God could be of no avail; and they were deeply struck with the majesty of God manifested in the conduct of the blessed Jesus.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 43. And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God , etc.] Or at �the greatness�, or �majesty of God�; which was displayed in this cure: for the great power of God was manifestly seen in it, to the astonishment of the disciples, who could not cure this child, and of the parent and friends of it, and of the whole multitude: and to the confusion of the Scribes and Pharisees: but while they wondered every one, at all things which Jesus did ; and were applauding him for them, and speaking in his praise on account of them: he said unto his disciples ; privately, when they were alone together, the following words, that he might not seem to be lifted up with the praise of men; and also to show their inconstancy, that those who, now admired him, would one day crucify him; and to take off the thoughts of the disciples from a temporal kingdom and glory, they were so much in expectation of, and which every miracle of Christ, and the applause he got thereby among men, strengthened them in.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 43-50 - This prediction of Christ's sufferings was plain enough, but the disciples would not understand it, because it agreed not with their notions. A little child is the emblem by which Christ teaches u simplicity and humility. What greater honour can any man attain to in this world, than to be received by men as a messenger of God an Christ; and to have God and Christ own themselves received and welcome in him! If ever any society of Christians in this world, had reason to silence those not of their own communion, the twelve disciples at thi time had; yet Christ warned them not to do the like again. Those may be found faithful followers of Christ, and may be accepted of him, who d not follow with us.
