“For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”
Matthew 7:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 7:29
The crowds' astonishment at Jesus' teaching stemmed from His inherent authority in contrast to the scribes' derivative authority. Scribes taught by citing previous rabbinical opinions and traditions, but Jesus taught as one possessing intrinsic authority—'I say unto you.' This authority derived from His divine nature as the eternal Word incarnate. His teaching carried self-authenticating power, requiring no external validation or appeals to tradition. This distinction between Christ and all merely human teachers remains absolute.
