One of Mark's themes and purposes is to portray Jesus's power and authority over all opposing powers, whether human or spirit. It often shows through the book that in the contest of God vs. Satan, God is the winner every time. Jesus came to confront and conquer Satan. By emphasizing their power over demons, Jesus is telling and showing them that spiritual victory is more important than physical healing and can be even more powerful than teaching. (After all, anyone can SAY anything they want, but a display of power is worth a thousand words.)

Mark 3:15 told explicitly cast out demons (what does mark want to reach with this?)

Soo I was reading mark 3:15 (in Dutch) and it said very explicit/focus/single said that they were given the power to cast out demons soo then I looked it up in English and it was the same and then in Spanish and also the same Soo...

Why did he said this so special without calling out healing or tongues etc?
