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

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus demonstrated His authority over evil spirits by commanding them to leave, as seen in His encounter with the man of the tombs.

The authority of Jesus over evil spirits is vividly illustrated in His encounter with the man possessed by a legion of demons in Mark 5. When Jesus asked the possessed man for his name, the demons confessed and pleaded not to be sent back into the abyss. This confrontation showcases Jesus’ sovereign power—He gives them permission to enter the swine instead of sending them away to their ultimate doom. The dramatic response of the swine and the immediate change in the man’s condition afterward serve as a testament to His unrivaled authority. The demons recognized Jesus as the Most High God, reinforcing the truth that even the forces of darkness must submit to His will.
