Matthew 4:24 His fame went throughout all Syria. The great Roman province north and east of Palestine, and, at the time of our Savior, including the latter. The cities of Damascus and Antioch were in the province. Possessed with devils. Evil spirit. Persons were actually subject to the control of demons. Of this there is the following proof: (1) Supernatural strength (Mark 5:4); (2) "Mind" is not the source of blindness (Matthew 12:22); (3) Insanity cannot "divine" (Acts 16:17); (4) Demons knew Jesus (Mark 1:24); (5) Jesus addresses the demons (Matthew 8:32); (6) Demoniacs confess this control (Mark 5:9); (7) Apostles assert it (Luke 10:17); (8) Jesus admitted it (Matthew 12:28); (9) Peter assures use of it (Acts 10:38). Lunatick. "Epileptic" in the Revised Version.
