They are frequently associated with possession, affliction, and deception, as seen in accounts of Jesus casting out demons from individuals, such as in Mark 5:1-20 where He encounters the Gerasene demoniac.In the Old Testament, the concept of demons is less explicitly defined, but references to "evil spirits" or "unclean spirits" suggest a similar understanding (1 Samuel 16:14; Leviticus 17:7). The Hebrew term "shedim" refers to these spirits, often associated with pagan worship and idolatry (Deuteronomy 32:17). Overall, demons in the biblical narrative are portrayed as agents of chaos and sin, opposing the will of God and leading individuals into spiritual darkness.
