In Mark's Gospel, Jesus almost always requests those whom he cures not to tell others of him. He even demands that demons do not say who he is. It is as if he spent his entire mission preaching and curing, but did not want to be remembered.

There are many references to the demons throughout the Bible. Here are just a few examples:Genesis 6:1-4 tells us where they came from.After God created the earth and mankind, Satan, once an angel, rebelled against him . A number of angels followed his lead and became "demons" , forsaking their place in heaven (Jude 6),at one point even taking on human form and marrying earthly women.(Deuteronomy 32:16-17)Like their leader, satan, demons set themselves up as gods. In Bible days, as well as today, people can be sacrificing to demons, instead of the creator (sometimes without even realizing it).(Psalm 106:37-38)(Revelation 9:20-21)(Psalms 106:37 .(Matthew 8:28-34)Demons can possess people, if allowed to, and take over their thinking and actions. Jesus and the apostles expelled many.(Matthew 10:8)(Matthew 8:16) (Luke 4:41) (Mark 1:34) (Mark 3:13-15) (Mark 6:13) (Luke 8:27-36)(Luke 9:42)(Luke 10:17) The demons were subject to Jesus and the apostles,and knew them personally. When others, who did not have God's spirit, tried to expel the demons, they were brutally attacked(Acts 19:11-16)(Lu 9:1)(1 Corinthians 10:20-22) One cannot successfully serve God AND the demons. It's impossible to do both.(Deuteronomy 32:17)(James 2:19) The demons believe in God, but that won't save them(1Peter 3:19, 20)(2Peter 2:4)(Revelation 12:9, 12) Satan and his demons have now been thrown out of heaven and are centering their attention on the earth. They are responsible for many of the horrors we see around us today, and much of the hypocrisy evident in religion and the world in general(John 8:44)(2 Corinthians 11:13-15)(1 Timothy 4:1-2) Because of this, Christians have a very specific battle (Ephesians 6:12) and need to be diligent about their spirituality, staying close to God, following the Bible in every aspect of life, until God destroys the demons once and for all.(2 Peter 2:4)
