The possessed man of the Jordan and his mother
Possessed by Beelzebub himself following a lustful life. He spreads terror in a village of the Decapolis on the banks of the Jordan.
Jesus drives out the demon after a tense duel:
"I am Beelzebub, the Master of the world and I will not surrender. I defy You, O Christ!"[1]
Peter asks:
"«Master, why did the unclean spirit offer so much resistance?»
«Because it was a complete spirit.»
«What does that mean?»"[2]
Jesus then explains possessions.
The Pharisees convince the healed possessed man that Jesus, Master of Demons, freed him only to subject him to a worse one. Jesus will calm his torments and teach him to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.[3]
