Mark 1:34

Mark 1:34

Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset

32 ^aAt evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and ^acast out many demons; and He ^bdid not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

Preaching in Galilee

35 Now ^ain the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a¹ solitary place; and there He ^bprayed.

36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him.

37 When they found Him, they said to Him, ^a“Everyone ^bis looking for You.”

38 But He said to them, ^a“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because ^bfor this purpose I have come forth.”

Devils (daimonia). Demons it should be translated always.

Suffered not (ouk hfien). Would not allow, imperfect tense of continued refusal. The reason given is "because they knew him" (oti hdeisan auton). Whether "to be Christ" (Xriston einai) is genuine or not, that is the meaning and is a direct reference to Mark 1:24 when in the synagogue the demon recognized and addressed Jesus as the Holy One of God. Testimony from such a source was not calculated to help the cause of Christ with the people. He had told the other demon to be silent. See on Matthew 8:29 for discussion of the word demon.
