28
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Matthew 7:28
Came to pass
The phrase “it came to pass,” often also translated as “it happened,” generally indicates the end of one spiritual state and the beginning of a new one. To some degree, the phrase is used in the place of punctuation in the original language, marking the transition from one set of circumstances to another.
