Bible Verses About The Miracles of Christ: Devils cast out

When Yeshua arrived at the other side of the lake, in the Gadarenes' territory, there came out of the burial caves two men controlled by demons, so violent that no one dared travel on that road.

They screamed, "What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

Now some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.

The demons begged him, "If you are going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

"All right, go!" he told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, whereupon the entire herd rushed down the hillside into the lake and drowned.

As they were going, a man controlled by a demon and unable to speak was brought to Yeshua.

After the demon was expelled the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Isra'el," they said.

A woman from Kena`an who was living there came to him, pleading, "Sir, have pity on me. Son of David! My daughter is cruelly held under the power of demons!"

But Yeshua did not say a word to her. Then his talmidim came to him and urged him, "Send her away, because she is following us and keeps pestering us with her crying."

He said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra'el."

But she came, fell at his feet and said, "Sir, help me!"

He answered, "It is not right to take the children's food and toss it to their pet dogs."

She said, "That is true, sir, but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their master's table."

Then Yeshua answered her, "Lady, you are a person of great trust. Let your desire be granted." And her daughter was healed at that very moment.

As they came up to the crowd, a man approached Yeshua, kneeled down in front of him,

and said, "Sir, have mercy on my son, because he is an epileptic and has such terrible fits that he often falls into the fire or into the water.

I brought him to your talmidim, but they couldn't heal him."

Yeshua answered, "Perverted people, without any trust! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

Yeshua rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, so that from that moment he was healed.

In their synagogue just then was a man with an unclean spirit in him, who shouted,

"What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!"

But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, "Be quiet and come out of him!"

Throwing the man into a convulsion, it gave a loud shriek and came out of him.

They were all so astounded that they began asking each other, "What is this? A new teaching, one with authority behind it! He gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"
