I think that it would be beside the point if you were to stress the technicality that it was in Luke and that Jesus didn't say it.No, I'm not thinking of which gospel, or whether it was actually quoting Jesus. Please cite the passage. I think you'll find that Jesus cast a demon out of a demon-possessed person, and that you're reading into it that the person was thought to be diseased. The gospels show disease and demon possession to be two different things. You're conflating them. One example:
Matt 4
24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
