Luke 4:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:34

Saying, let us alone
Not that there were more spirits in him than one, as the whole account shows; but he includes the rest of the devils in that country; (See Gill on Mark 1:24).

Luke 4:34 In-Context

32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,
34 saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"
35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.
36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
