Jesus Answers A Demand For A Sign Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 3, 2017

The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.
