OET (OET-LV) And amazement became on all, and they_were_conversing_with to one_another saying:
What is the this message, that with authority and power he_is_commanding to_the unclean spirits, and they_are_coming_out?
OET (OET-RV) This amazed everyone and they started asking each other, “What is this command that has such authority and power that he orders evil spirits around and they come out?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐγένετο θάμβος ἐπὶ πάντας
became amazement on all
Luke speaks of astonishment as if it were something that actively came upon the people. Alternate translation: “they were all amazed”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τίς ὁ λόγος οὗτος
what_‹is› ¬the word this
Luke uses the term word to describe the things that Jesus taught by using words. Alternate translation: “What is this teaching” or “What is this message”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ὁ λόγος οὗτος
what_‹is› ¬the word this
The people are making a statement, not asking a question. They do not expect anyone to explain what Jesus’ teaching is. Instead, they are using the question form to express how amazed they are that Jesus has the authority to command demons to leave a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate their words as a statement or exclamation. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “This is a powerful message!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἐν ἐξουσίᾳ καὶ δυνάμει ἐπιτάσσει τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις πνεύμασιν
with authority and power ˱he˲_/is/_commanding ˱to˲_the unclean spirits
The words authority and power mean similar things. The people use the two terms together to emphasize what great control Jesus has over unclean spirits. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms in a single phrase that would similarly express this emphasis. Alternate translation: “he has complete authority over the unclean spirits”
4:36 What authority and power this man’s words possess! Magicians and exorcists often used elaborate rituals and incantations. The people were amazed that Jesus merely spoke a word on his own authority and cast out the demon.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
