Scriptures used from THE HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION. Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 1987 International Bible Society. Used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.
All scripture verses should be read within the context of the whole passage: who said it, to whom was it said, why was it said, what happened before and after. Therefore, the following verses should be studied from the Bible, within their context.
The Holy Bible has many references to demons and demon possession. However, Luke, the author of the Gospel According to St. Luke, was a physician by training. Therefore, his references to demons are especially significant.
Demons
knew who Jesus was: Luke 4:33-35; Luke 4:41.
33
In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried
out at the top of his voice, 34 Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are-- the Holy One of God!" 35
Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon
threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. . . . 41
Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!"
But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was
the Christ.
Difference between those who were
sick and those who were demon possessed: Luke 7:21.
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil
spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.
Some
had multiple demons: Luke 8:2; Luke 8:30.
2 and
also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called
Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out . . . 30 Jesus asked him, "What
is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone
into him. 31 And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.
Demon
caused violence and epilepsy in a child: Luke 9:38-42
38 A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my
son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams;
it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever
leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out,
but they could not." . . . 42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw
him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the
boy and gave him back to his father.
Demon caused
speech disability: Luke 11:14
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon
left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
Demon
caused physical disability: Luke 13:10-13
10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.
She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he
called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity."
13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised
God.
