'Authority' in the Bible
The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He turned to the paralytic, and said,
with authority to expel the demons.
Then summoning the Twelve to Him, He proceeded to send them out by twos, and gave them authority over the foul spirits.
Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, "You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority;
and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?"
"And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
