(27) What new doctrine is this?--A various-reading gives a different structure, "What thing is this? A new doctrine with power. He commandeth even the unclean spirits . . ." "Doctrine" is, as elsewhere, the teaching taken as a whole, including manner as well as substance.

Verse 27. - What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? The now generally approved text gives a different rendering, namely, What is this? a new teaching! (Τί ἐστὶ τοῦτο δὶδαχη καινή). If this is the true reading - and there is excellent authority for it - it would mean that the bystanders inferred that this new and unexampled power indicated the accompanying gift of a "new teaching," a new revelation. Nay, more, it indicated that he who wrought these miracles must be the promised Messiah, the true God; for he alone by his power could rule the evil spirits.
