Mark 9:18-22
9:18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but
they were not able to do so.”
9:19 He answered them,
“You
unbelieving
generation! How much longer
must I be with you? How much longer must I endure
you?
Bring him to me.”
9:20 So they brought the boy
to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He
fell on the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
9:21 Jesus
asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.
9:22 It has often thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
Isaiah 65:4
65:4 They sit among the tombs
and keep watch all night long.
They eat pork,
and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans.
Daniel 4:32-33
4:32 You will be driven from human society, and you will live with the wild animals. You will be fed grass like oxen, and seven periods of time will pass by for you before
you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.”
4:33 Now in that very moment this pronouncement about Nebuchadnezzar came true. He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws.
Luke 8:29
8:29 For Jesus
had started commanding
the evil
spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, so
he would be bound with chains and shackles
and kept under guard. But
he would break the restraints and be driven by the demon into deserted
places.)
