What does the Bible say about Jesus' authority over demons?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible demonstrates Jesus' authority over demons through accounts like Luke 4:31-37, where He commands unclean spirits to leave.

In Luke 4:31-37, Jesus is depicted as having absolute authority over unclean spirits. He enters a synagogue and encounters a man possessed by a demon. The demon recognizes Jesus as the Holy One of God, highlighting the sovereignty and power Jesus possesses over spiritual forces. Rather than being intimidated, Jesus rebukes the demon, commanding it to be silent and leave the man. The immediate obedience of the demon underscores Jesus' divine authority — a trait that astonished the onlookers and revealed His unique power compared to the religious leaders of the time.
