What does it mean that Jesus speaks with authority?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus speaks with authority as He is God incarnate, whose words carry divine power and truth.

The authority of Jesus' words stems from His divine nature as God incarnate. When He taught, people recognized that 'never man spake like this man,' indicating a uniqueness in His authority compared to other teachers and prophets. His words had the power to command nature, heal the sick, and even raise the dead, demonstrating that He operates beyond human capability. For instance, His response to the centurion, where He acknowledges the centurion's faith in His spoken word, illustrates that Jesus' authority is inherent and transformative. His teachings reveal God’s truth and call for obedience, making it essential for believers to heed His words and allow them to shape their lives.
