All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

Notes

With authority and power He commands: Magicians and exorcists often used long rituals and special spoken formulas (incantations). The people were amazed that Jesus simply spoke a word with his own authority and drove out the demon.
