'Authority' in the Bible

The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.

They were all amazed so that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him."

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins," -- he said to the paralytic --

and to have authority to cast out demons.

Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.

and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Then Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
