"'''When Jesus heard it, he ''marveled'''''" <small>
:Matthew 8:10
:"'''''marveled'' έθαύμασε''' ''ethaumase''"—not in the sense of astonished or surprised at the man's faith, as if this "caught Him off guard", as if Jesus was totally unaware of the faith in the man's heart before that moment, but Jesus "'''admired'''" his "'''marvelous'''" expression of faith in Him as "''highly commendable''", an "admirable example" to others, as an instructive practical expression of "praiseworthy confidence", to be heeded and learned from, and, in fact, an act of faith most pleasing to Himself as Lord.<br>"''e'''thauma'''se''"—See [https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?t=nkjv&strongs=g2296 Strong's number ''2296'' '''θαυμάζω''' ''thaumazō''].

This included even Jesus' own disciples and apostles personally drawn by Him from among the Jews. Even Nathanael was hesitant when first told about Jesus. And Thomas refused to believe what he was told without evidence he could see and touch. Compare [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+1210%3A1-5112%3A18&version=RSVCE Acts 10:1–11:18] where even Peter and the other apostles and the brethren, believing Jews, had not readily believed, but afterward did believe; while Cornelius and his friends and his whole household had immediately accepted Peter's words about Jesus as Lord and Savior.
:Conservative Christian believers reject every interpretation of scripture which is [[Specious reasoning|speciously]] adduced as demonstrating that Jesus was not aware with divine knowledge. <br>See for example [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A5-6&version=RSVCE John 6:5-6]; also [https://biblehub.com/multi/john/2-25.htm John 2:25]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/john/1-47.htm 1:47]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/john/6-61.htm 6:61], [https://biblehub.com/multi/john/6-64.htm 64]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/mark/2-8.htm 13:11]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/mark/2-8.htm Mark 2:8]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/matthew/9-4.htm Matthew 9:4]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/matthew/12-25.htm 12:25]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/luke/5-22.htm Luke 5:22]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/luke/6-8.htm 6:8]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/luke/9-47.htm 9:47]; [https://biblehub.com/multi/luke/11-17.htm 11:17]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+4%3A13-14&version=RSVCE Hebrews 4:13-14].
