How do we know Jesus has power over demons?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus demonstrated His authority over demons by commanding them to leave the afflicted man, showing His complete dominion over evil.

The power of Jesus over demons is most clearly shown in His interaction with the demon-possessed man in the Gadarenes. When Jesus commands the unclean spirit to come out, the demons immediately obey, highlighting His ultimate authority over them. For instance, they even plead with Him not to send them to the abyss, recognizing His supremacy. Such accounts reinforce the truth that no power of evil can stand against Christ, the stronger one, who came to liberate those under the tyranny of darkness. This reality is a source of hope for believers, as Christ's dominion secures our salvation and protects us from the enemy’s schemes.
