Mark 9:15

And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

Perhaps it was in the fact that, when they looked up from the mess they were in, they were amazed to find the answer to their problems, not in themselves, but in the Lord. It was certainly so with the nine frustrated disciples who had failed to cure the boy.
