I think many of you do not understand this chapter clearly. Jesus is not preaching all peace and appears bipolar or anger his law or changes to it is more severe and not in concert with Mark, Luke, or John...Jesus by the way did not write this it was written anonymously perhaps by an early Christian cleric 70 90 years after his death. Understanding this fact it clearly dilutes the message and allows you to know Jesus did not intend for his message to be so hijacked. But what can you do if you want to preach fear and peace to followers and make them believe fantastical tales of devils who is not real research the old testament and history of satan and miracles. There may be a message here but it is convoluted within a message by the early church writers. Considering most people during the time of Christ did not write nor read perhaps in Greek, the language of the NT, but rather Aramaic it is highly unlikely that any disciple wrote these books as well.
