For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with Him, at the catch of fish that they had taken. (Lk 5:9)
θάμβος γὰρ περιέσχεν αὐτὸν καὶ πάντας τοὺς σὺν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τῇ ἄγρᾳ τῶν ἰχθύων ὧν συνέλαβον.
stupor enim circumdederat eum et omnes qui cum illo erant in captura piscium quam ceperant.
Sometimes the experience of a kind of cognitive paralysis can lead to deeper reflection. When we encounter something new and unheard of, we have a chance to open ourselves to a reality that exceeds us. Undoubtedly, wonder (θάμβος) is the first step to knowledge.
