They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority

Luke 4:16–30
When Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.”
When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed
Truly I tell you, I do not know you
Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming
For you are like whitewashed tombs
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Can anything good come out of Nazareth?
Here am I, the servant of the Lord
Which commandment in the law is the greatest?
