35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, “What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out (NASB)
In context, the word that sticks out is authority. Before this, it was the authority of His words that caught their hearts and minds. It is the same authority here - what He says, what He commands; His deeds confirm His words. We just need to make sure we always come back to what He says, and trust and obey them. If the demons obey... what does that mean for us?
