1. Wonder at a striking sight, act, or statement · dominant

   The verb marks a response to what observers find remarkable: in Acts 3:12 Peter asks why the people marvel at the man's walking, and in Matthew 15:31 the APB renders the crowd's response to healings as “marveled.” It also follows surprising speech or conduct, as in Acts 4:13, Matthew 22:22, and Mark 15:44; passive clauses in 2 Thessalonians 1:10 and Revelation 17:8 present people as being marveled at or as those who will marvel.

   Acts 3:12Matthew 15:31Acts 4:13Matthew 22:22Mark 15:44Revelation 17:8
2. Marveling at faces for advantage · rare

   In Jude 1:16, the present active masculine plural participle occurs in the description of people whose mouths speak boastful things, with the APB rendering the phrase “marveling at faces for the sake of advantage.” The verse supplies this specific setting without isolating a more precise English equivalent for the term.

   Jude 1:16

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “marvel” or “marveled,” while also using “amazed,” “astonished,” and “wondering” in some verses. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these variations show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed equivalents.
