This is the CliffsNotes version of the greatest story ever told. But Peter's phrase: "oppressed by the devil" is so striking to me. That is what happens. We get oppressed by the devil. Jesus heals us.

Acts 10:36-39
The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.
