The man whose reason was thus suddenly restored praised God for his deliverance. The eye that had so lately glared with the fire of insanity, now beamed with intelligence and overflowed with grateful tears. The people were dumb with amazement. As soon as they recovered speech they marveled one with another, saying, “What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out!” {2SP 179.1}

Det menneske, som således pludselig fik sin forstand, prisede Gud for sin frelse. Det øje, som så nylig havde luret i vanvid, strålede nu af forstand og flød over med taknemmelige glædestårer. Folket var stumt af forbavselse. Så snart de var i stand til at sige noget, talede de med hverandre om det store under: "Hvad er dog dette? en ny lære med myndighed; selv de urene ånder byder han over, og de adlyder ham." (Mark 1,27)
