UTN uW Translation Notes:

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]
