"The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes." (John 9:30)

A "marvelous thing" in the Bible is something that generates awe or wonder. Sometimes it refers to a miracle, but more often to something very unexpected and remarkable.

"I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me." (Jeremiah 27:5)

"Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her." (Ezekiel 5:5)

"Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word." (Acts 8:4)

"And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you." (Job 12:1-2)

It is remarkable that the Bible, with its great variety of literary forms and numerous personal conversations and discourses, contains very few examples of sarcasm or satire.
