NEW TESTAMENT:

1. Matthew 8:16 “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:”

2. Matthew 10:1 “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits (akethartos = unclean, impure, foul, lewd), to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases.”

3. Matthew 12:22-30 “Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, is not this the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of demons. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”

4.

Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority commadeth he even the unclean spirits (akathartos = unclean, impure, foul, lewd), and they do obey him.”

5. Mark 5:8 “For he(Jesus)said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit (akathartos = unclean, impure, foul, lewd).”

Luke 13:11-13 “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity (astheneia = weakness, frailty, feebleness of body or mind) eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise life up herself. And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity (estheneia = weakness, frailty, feebleness of body or mind).

12. Revelation 16:13-14 “And I saw three unclean spirits (akathartos = impure, lewd, foul)like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of demons (daimon = a deified spirit, devil), working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”

13. Revelation 18:2-4 “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit (akathartos = unclean, impure, lewd), and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not her plagues.”
