What does the Bible say about the authority of Jesus over evil spirits?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts Jesus as having ultimate authority over evil spirits, commanding them to leave with power and authority.

In Luke 4:33-36, Jesus confronts a man possessed by an unclean spirit. The demon acknowledges Jesus, saying, 'I know who you are, the Holy One of God,' indicating a fear and recognition of Christ's authority. Jesus rebukes the demon, commanding it to be silent and to come out of the man, showcasing His sovereign power. This episode illustrates the truth that Christ is the absolute sovereign over all creation, including the spiritual realm, and that He has the authority to liberate those held captive by evil.
