Possessed with Devils #2

Tuesday, October 7, 2025

“And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them” (Matthew 4:24 KJV).

What does the Bible say about devil possession?

Acts 10:38 says how the Lord Jesus Christ, in Matthew to John, went about “healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” This would have included exorcisms, such as today’s Scripture and other general passages.

“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:…” (Matthew 8:16). “And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him…. And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils” (Mark 1:32-34,39). “…And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God” (Mark 3:11). “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ” (Luke 4:40,41).

“And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed” (Luke 6:18). “And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected” (Luke 13:32). Then, there are several specific miracles of casting out evil spirits, which records provide us with even more information as to what is taking place with devil possession….
