@Sarah-Thank you for your response! Question: Did Jesus's authority differ at all from theirs, based on Rom. 13:1? Or, as you somewhat suggested in your answer, did the manner in which He 'manifested' His authority differ greatly from theirs-so much so they remarked,"all men will believe on Him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation..."(John 11:48)?

@Sarah(and All)-Something to consider....Authority consists of 2 elements: 1) The Right(or position) to act, and 2) The Power to act(this is from Watchman Nee's Spiritual Authority). The Scribes certainly had the RIGHT-Jesus said so. But without revelation, and the "unction" that also comes with giving it-they lacked the POWER(dunamis), which was evident by how the people were amazed. Instead(I believe) they substituted a "consensus of opinion" for that "dunamis"-it made sense to them, but the people recognized it right away...
