Mt 8:28-34

The town Jesus comes to is afflicted by two men possessed by evil spirits. Jesus encounters them. The demons acknowledge who Jesus is addressing him by his divine title and tell him that he should not disturb them until the coming of the kingdom. They make a request of him, which Jesus grants. Those who witness this are fearful of Jesus’ power.

Jesus, your power is not how humans imagine. Your power is in your goodness, your kindness, your mercy.
