11 The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the Son of God!"
The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" Rebuking them, he didn't allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!"
The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
Following Paul and us, she cried out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation!"
But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God!"
