Mark 1:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 1:24

22 ^aAnd they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an ^aunclean spirit. And he cried out,

24 saying, “Let us alone! ^aWhat have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I ^bknow who You are—the ^cHoly One of God!”

25 But Jesus ^arebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

26 And when the unclean spirit ^ahad convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,¹ “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”
