'Evil Spirit' in the Bible

And when it was evening they brought to him many demoniacs: and he cast out the evil spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill: that it might be fulfilled,

whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,

(Now at that very time He cured many of their diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and gave sight to many that were blind.)

and some women that had been cured of evil spirits and other infirmities, as Mary Magdalene, out of whom were cast seven demons,

so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases lest them, and evil spirits went out of them.

Then some of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those that had evil spirits, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth."

But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?

And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leapt upon them, and mastered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
