SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #139
And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: "What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him." (Mark 1:27)
EXORCISMS: Cases of possession still occur: but the Church, by exorcisms, drives away the evil spirit in the name of Jesus.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
