for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
-
For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

Jesus’ Authority Questioned
Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”
-
But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things:
-
So they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
-
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
-
And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
-
Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”
-
But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Jesus’ Authority Questioned
Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.
-
And they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”
-
But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
-
So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
-
And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
-
And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
-
Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”
-
For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Sending Out the Twelve
Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
-
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
-
And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

Jesus’ Authority Questioned
Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him
-
and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?”
-
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
