Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon {\cf2\super [167]} inside him. Jesus healed the man, and the man could talk and see.
Jesus answered, “You people have no faith. Your lives are all wrong. How long must I stay with you? How long must I continue to be patient with you? Bring the boy here.”
Then the followers came to Jesus alone. They said, “We tried to force the demon {\cf2\super [244]} out of the boy, but we could not. Why were we not able to make the demon go out?”
Jesus healed many people that had different kinds of sicknesses. Jesus also forced many demons to leave people. But Jesus would not allow the demons to speak, because the demons knew who he was. {\cf2\super [17]}
Demons {\cf2\super [83]} came out of many people. The demons shouted, “You are the Son of God.” But Jesus gave a strong command for the demons not to speak, because they knew Jesus was the Christ. {\cf2\super [84]}
While the boy was coming, the demon {\cf2\super [173]} threw the boy to the ground. The boy lost control of himself. But Jesus gave a strong command to the evil spirit. Then the boy was healed. And Jesus gave the boy back to his father.
She continued doing this for many days. This bothered Paul, so he turned and said to the spirit, “By the power of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her!” Immediately, the spirit came out.
