Exegesis
The preposition epi {ἐπὶ | e-pì} with the dative phrase tē didachē tou kuriou {τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ κυρίου | tē di-da-khḗ tou ku-rí-ou} ‘at the teaching of the Lord’ expresses the cause or ground of his amazement. The English reconstructions render the participial chain with a combination of subordinate and coordinate clauses to preserve natural flow while retaining the logical progression: seeing the event leads to belief, and that belief is characterized by amazement at the Lord’s teaching.
