uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ γενομένου Σαββάτου ἤρξατο διδάσκειν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus and what he said and did. Alternate translation: [he astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying] or [what he said astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Here, the phrase translated the many ones hearing him could refer to: (1) the many people who were hearing him. In this case, all of the many people were astonished.

The people in Jesus’ hometown are using the question form to express their surprise that Jesus has wisdom and can do miracles.
