THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 9 - Verse 8
Verse 8. They glorified God. See Barnes "Mt 5:16".
To glorify God, here, means to praise him, or to acknowledge his power. The expression, which had given such power to men, 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.
