The Hebrew Exorcist

Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out..."Be quiet!" said Jesus sternly. "Come out of him!" The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. Mark 1:23, 25-26
This class of theatrics seems reserved for religious charlatans patrolling the American Bible Belt, movies staring Linda Blair, and, apparently, the creator of the universe.
Chill Jesus, it's just a movie.

Like any decent Hollywood script, the villain is introduced.

At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. Mark 1:12-13
Immediately after learning about his real father and his divinity, Jesus was beamed out to the desert to confront a Dr. Evil-esq villain. Mind you, Jesus (God) created this villain, and being omniscient and omnipotent, Jesus had the ability to fart the villain out of existence—certainly Jesus was powerful enough to somehow withstand the villain's devious powers of persuasion.
