Matthew 17:18Radiate New TestamentJesus ordered the demon to leave the boy, and the demon came out of him. He was healed at that moment. See the chapter |
The evil spirit was saying this because Jesus had commanded it to come out of the man. Many times it had taken hold of him, so that even though his hands and feet were chained and he was kept under guard, he was able to break his chains. Then the demon would force him to go out into lonely places in the countryside.
