How do we know that Jesus has authority over evil spirits?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrated His authority over evil spirits by commanding them to come out and they obeyed Him, as seen in Mark 1.

In the accounts recorded in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus' authority over evil spirits is clearly illustrated when He confronts and casts out demons. In Mark 1:23-26, a man possessed by an unclean spirit cries out to Jesus, acknowledging Him as the Holy One of God. Jesus rebukes the spirit and commands it to come out, and the spirit obeys, illustrating that even the forces of evil are subject to His will. This authority not only affirms Jesus' divinity but also assures believers of His power over spiritual darkness. Such encounters reveal the reality of the spiritual battle that exists and the comfort that comes from knowing Christ holds ultimate authority over all evil.
