ISB ~ Mark 1 v27

With authority:Divine power is displayed through Jesus’ word. While most exorcists of the day recited lengthy incantations or used odorous roots to expel demons, Jesus simply commands the spirits and they leave (CCC 550). The demons’ inability to resist him is shown by their dramatic exhibition of “convulsing” and “crying” (1:26).
