Mat 7:29 | JFB | STEP | 29. For he taught them as one having authority-- The word "one," which our translators have here inserted, only weakens the statement. and not as the scribes-- The consciousness of divine authority, as Lawgiver, Expounder and Judge, so beamed through His teaching, that the scribes' teaching could not but appear drivelling in such a light.
