Luke 2:47

And all those who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.

When Jesus had finished this sermon, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

They were astonished at His teaching because, unlike the scribes, He was teaching them as one having authority.

They were astonished at His teaching because His message had authority.

Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained?”

I have more insight than all my teachers
because Your decrees are my meditation.

They were all speaking well of Him and were amazed by the gracious words that came from His mouth, yet they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

The police answered, “No man ever spoke like this!”
