Contextual Overview

43 All the people were amazed at the great power of God. While everyone was wondering about all that Jesus did, he said to his followers, 44 "Don't forget what I tell you now: The Son of Man will be handed over to people." 45 But the followers did not understand what this meant; the meaning was hidden from them so they could not understand. But they were afraid to ask Jesus about it. 46 Jesus' followers began to have an argument about which one of them was the greatest. 47 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a little child and stood the child beside him. 48 Then Jesus said, "Whoever accepts this little child in my name accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the One who sent me, because whoever is least among you all is really the greatest." 49 John answered, "Master, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of people. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group." 50 But Jesus said to him, "Don't stop him, because whoever is not against you is for you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God,.... Or at "the greatness", or "majesty of God"; which was displayed in this cure: for the great power of God was manifestly seen in it, to the astonishment of the disciples, who could not cure this child, and of the parent and friends of it, and of the whole multitude: and to the confusion of the Scribes and Pharisees:

but while they wondered every one, at all things which Jesus did; and were applauding him for them, and speaking in his praise on account of them:

he said unto his disciples; privately, when they were alone together, the following words, that he might not seem to be lifted up with the praise of men; and also to show their inconstancy, that those who, now admired him, would one day crucify him; and to take off the thoughts of the disciples from a temporal kingdom and glory, they were so much in expectation of, and which every miracle of Christ, and the applause he got thereby among men, strengthened them in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the Matthew 17:14-21 notes, and Mark 9:14-29 notes.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 43. The mighty power — This majesty of God, μεγαλειοτητι του Θεου. They plainly saw that it was a case in which any power inferior to that of God could be of no avail; and they were deeply struck with the majesty of God manifested in the conduct of the blessed Jesus.
