- there are instances in which a demon is cast out, but the posessed person is not otherwise described as being diseased.
- there are instances in which a person is cured of disease, with no mention of a demon.
- there are lists of things that Jesus did, or tasked his followers with, which include healing disease and casting out demons as separate items
- one instance has been given in which a boy had a demon cast out of him. Two translations said the boy was ill, but the other 28 make no mention of illness or disease.
