• If every illness had been caused by demons, Mark would

were some people who were physically sick but not under

demonic influence.

hospital.

• Yet as soon as the demons left him, notice the immediate and

radical change in his mental state and behavior: "The people went

out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found

the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the

feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became

frightened. Those who had seen it reported to them how the man

who was demon-possessed had been made well" (Luke 8:35-36).
