Matthew 12:23

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort, this verse is:

Καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον, Μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Δαβίδ;

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

The New International Version translates the passage as:

All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

The crowd is amazed (Greek: ἐξίσταντο, from which the English word ecstasy is derived) at the works of Christ and wonder if He is the promised Messiah, known by the title "the son of David".^[1][2]
