Luke 9:1 Then *having called together the twelve apostles, he gave them power, and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Matthew 10:1.; Mark 3:15.
Over all devils; so that none should be able to resist them. For all were not equally easy to be expelled, as we shall see in this same chapter, in the person of a possessed child, whom the apostles could not heal, because they did not use prayer and fasting against it; and because their faith was not sufficiently strong and ardent. (Calmet)
