Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
The demon was like, 'Leave us alone! What do you want with us, Jesus from Nazareth? Did you come here to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, you're the Holy One of God.'
Even demons recognize Jesus's power and can't help but tell the truth about who he really is.
