A: As I mention here, I believe that Jesus appeared in the Old Testament many times; more than most believe. I start with this because if I am correct, then Jesus may have spoken with demons “in the Bible” (i.e. Job 1:6-12, Job 2:1-7) more than I am listing here. What I am focusing on instead is simply how many times Jesus spoke to demons “in the Gospels” while He was on earth. In regards to this, I find 7 times that Jesus spoke to demons. Following are these times.
Where Did Jesus Speak To A Demon | Verses |
In The Wilderness (To Satan) | (Mt 4:1-11)(Mk 1:12-13)(Lk 4:1-13) |
At The Capernaum Synagogue | (Mk 1:21-28)(Lk 4:31-37) |
At Peter & Andrew’s House | (Mk 1:32-34)(Mt 8:16-17)(Lk 4:40-41) |
At The Sea Of Galilee | (Mk 3:10-12) |
At Gergesenes (Gadarenes) | (Mt 8:28-32)(Mk 5:1-13)(Lk 8:26-33) |
Caesarea Philippi? (Mt 16:13) | (Mt 17:14-21)(Mk 9:17-29)(Lk 9:38-47) |
Jerusalem | (Lk 22:31-32 – implied) |
***Note: It is interesting to note that Jesus is never shown to speak to a demon, or cast out a demon in the Gospel of John.
Speaking of “casting out a demon,” in the next question, we will list how many total times Jesus “cast out demon” in the Gospels.
