Exegesis:
kai exestēsan hoi goneis autēs ‘and her parents were astounded.’ As a comparison with 2.47 shows this is a moderate phrase and less strong than the parallel Mk. 5.42.
parēggeilen ‘he ordered,’ cf. on 5.14.
to gegonos ‘what had happened.’
Translation:
For parents see on 2.27, and for amazed on “wondered” in 1.21.
He charged them to tell no one, cf. on 5.14.
