How do we know that Jesus is the authority over demons and sickness?

Answered in 1 source

The Gospels demonstrate that Jesus commands unclean spirits and diseases with authority, showing His divine power to heal and deliver.

In Luke 4:33-37, we observe Jesus confronting a man with an unclean spirit, commanding it to 'hold thy peace and come out of him.' The immediate obedience of the demons illustrates Christ's supreme authority over the forces of darkness and affliction. Additionally, His healing of Simon's mother and others (Luke 4:38-40) further affirms His role as the universal healer. This authoritative action offers profound evidence of His divinity and power as the Savior, revealing that He can not only address physical ailments but also the spiritual implications of sin and suffering.
