How do we know Jesus has authority over unclean spirits?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' authority over unclean spirits is demonstrated through His command, which they obey without resistance.

In Mark 1:25-26, Jesus rebukes an unclean spirit by saying, 'Hold thy peace, and come out of him.' This command showcases His absolute authority, as the spirit must obey. The Greek term for 'hold thy peace' implies silencing the spirit completely, revealing the power Jesus possesses over spiritual forces. His ability to command and be obeyed illustrates that He is not merely a prophet or teacher but God incarnate, with sovereign control over the spiritual realm. This demonstrates that all authority in heaven and earth belongs to Him, as manifested through His actions.
