Context of Matthew 9:8

6But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins...” Then He tells the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your cot and go home.” 7And he got up and went home. When the crowd saw it, they were afraid and glorified God, who had given such authority to men. 9As Yeshua was passing by from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he got up and followed Him. 10Now it happened that when Yeshua was reclining at the table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Yeshua and His disciples.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8They glorified God - See the notes at Matthew 5:16. To “glorify” God, here, means to “praise him,” or to acknowledge his power. The expression, “which had given such power to people,” was a part of “their” praise. It expresses no sentiment of the evangelist about the nature of Christ, but is a record of their feelings and their praise.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 8The crowd responded with fear and admiration because they realized a powerful truth about Jesus. He is truly the Son of God with the authority to forgive sins on earth (9:6).Read the comment
