Matthew 17:18First Nations VersionHe spoke sharply to the evil spirit, and it left the boy, and right then he was healed. See the chapter |
He said this because Creator Sets Free (Jesus) had ordered the evil spirit to leave the man. In the past this evil spirit had often taken hold of the man, so the villagers had kept the man bound with chains and under close watch. But the man had broken the chains, and the evil spirit had forced him out into the desert.
