What does the Bible say about the authority of Jesus' teachings?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible affirms that Jesus taught with absolute authority, astonishing His listeners with His doctrine (Matthew 7:28-29).

In Matthew 7:28-29, we see that the multitudes were astonished at Jesus' doctrine because He spoke with a level of authority that was unlike the teachings of the scribes. The scribes merely imparted information in moral or intellectual terms, whereas Jesus, as the Son of God, spoke with divine authority as the writer of Scripture. His teachings addressed the heart and the inner state of humanity, revealing the inability of man to attain righteousness through his own efforts and establishing the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven for those who are poor in spirit and seek righteousness.Scripture emphasizes that true authority stems from Christ's identity as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, affirming that His words carry the weight of divine truth.
