Matthew 28:18Jesus drew near and said

to them, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.



The entire Gospel of Matthew stresses the authority of Jesus Christ. There was authority to His teaching (Matthew 7:29). He exercised authority in healing (Matthew 8:1-13), The authority of forgiving sins (Matthew 9:6).



The entire Gospel of Matthew stresses the authority of Jesus Christ. He had authority over Satan, And He delegated that authority to His Apostles (Matthew 10:1).(authority Greek-exousia, “official right or power”) had been given to Jesus by the Father. All power is given unto me—Or, All authority in heaven and upon earth is given unto me.



Acts 1:8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon

you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the

end of the earth."
