Matthew 9:8
Douay-Rheims
And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
Hilary of Poitiers
It is a very fearful thing to be seized by death while the sins are yet unforgiven by Christ; for there is no way to the heavenly house for him whose sins have not been forgiven. But when this fear is removed, honour is rendered to God, who by His word has in this way given power to men, of forgiveness of sins, of resurrection of the body, and of return to Heaven.
