in this story, "A fearful look came onto his face and he turned and ran.”

this was reinforced by some verses. below.

James 4:7-8 HCSB
Therefore, submit to God. But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.   Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!

Peter 5:4, 8-9 HCSB
And when the chief Shepherd  appears, you will receive the unfading crown  of glory. Be serious!  Be alert!  Your adversary the Devil  is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him  and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.

1 John 2:8 HCSB
Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away  and the true light  is already shining.

1 John 2:2 HCSB
He Himself is the propitiation  for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.


Jesus wins!
