Amazed by His Faith

Do you remember the stories in the Gospels where Jesus is amazed at the faith of certain people? The Centurion, the Canaanite woman, etc.

When God saw Abel’s sacrifice in Genesis 4:4, this is the word used to describe God seeing his offering.

שָׁעָה shâʻâh, shaw-aw’; a primitive root; to gaze at or about (properly, for help); by implication, to inspect, consider, compassionate, be nonplussed (as looking around in amazement) or bewildered:—depart, be dim, be dismayed, look (away), regard, have respect, spare, turn.
H8159: שָׁעָה (šāʿâ)
