Exorcist:

one who pretends to expel evil spirits by conjuration, prayers and ceremonies. Exorcism was frequently practiced among the Jews (Matthew 12:27; Acts 19:13). David, by playing skillfully on a harp, procured the temporary departure of the evil spirit which troubled Saul (1 Samuel 16:23). The power of casting out devils was bestowed by Christ while on earth upon the apostles (Matthew 10:8) and the seventy disciples (Luke 10:17-19) and was, according to his promise (Mark 16:17) exercised by believers after his ascension (Acts 16:18).
