“If I by the finger of God expel demons from people, then it is the Kingdom of God that has come upon you” (Luke 11:20). It came in his person and acted in his actions. This was not an entirely new phenomenon in biblical events. When the Egyptian magicians in Pharaoh’s court saw what happened at the word of Moses, they acknowledged, “This is the finger of God” (Exod. 8:19). And the Ten Commandments were said to have been inscribed in stone by the finger of God (Exod. 31:18). But the divine co-action was to be true for Jesus’ trainees, or apprentices, also.
