The Rabbis spoke from authority, Jesus with authority. Those who heard Him 'were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes' (Mark 1:22). C.H. Dodd renders 'He taught them like a sovereign, and not like the Rabbis'... Justin Martyr [said], 'His word was power from God.' 'Thus says the Lord' is typical of the Old Testament, but Jesus' characteristic expression is 'Truly, truly, I say to you.' The difference is significant. Jesus appealed to no other authority as He spoke to men of the deep things of God.

Preheat oven to 350F.

overlapping and pressing lightly to fit.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cardamom, and a
pinch salt. In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat together remaining
tablespoon butter and granulated sugar until combined well. Beat in
egg and vanilla until combined and beat in flour mixture until batter
