Answered in 5 sources

Jesus demonstrates His authority over demons through His actions, as seen in Luke 11:20, where He casts out demons by the finger of God.

The authority of Jesus over demons is clearly established in Luke 11:20, where He states, 'But if I cast out devils by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.' This verse reveals that Jesus exercises divine authority to cast out evil spirits, proving that He is indeed the stronger one who overcomes the strong man, Satan. This act signifies not only His power but also the arrival of God's kingdom in the presence of Jesus. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently demonstrates His authority over evil, underscoring that there is no struggle; He vanquishes darkness effortlessly as the King of Kings.
