How do we know that Jesus had authority in His preaching?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrated His authority in preaching through His powerful words, miracles, and the fulfillment of prophecy.

The authority of Jesus in His preaching is underscored by various passages that reveal people were astonished at His teachings. In Luke 4:32, it states, 'For His word was with power.' His teaching style differed significantly from that of the scribes, as He spoke with divine authority. The miracles He performed, such as healing, raising the dead, and performing the catch of fish in Luke 5, confirm His status as the Messiah. Furthermore, Jesus' claim to fulfill Old Testament prophecies, as exemplified when He read from Isaiah in Luke 4:16-21, strengthens our understanding of His authoritative role as the prophet sent from God.
