Mark 1:34

34 And he healed many, that had diverse sicknesses, and he cast out many fiends [And he healed many that were travailed with diverse sores, and he cast out many devils], and he suffered them not to speak, for they knew him.

Mark 1:34 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:34

And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases
Not that there were some, who had some sorts of diseases, whom he did not heal; but he healed all that came, or were brought to him, which were many, of every sort of disease, which were divers, with which they were afflicted:

and cast many devils;
even as many as were brought to him, or were possessed with any:

and he suffered not the devils to speak;
either for him, or against him; which shows his great power over them:

because they knew him,
or "that they knew him": he would not suffer them to say a word about him, because he knew that they knew that he was the Christ, the Son of God, or he would not permit them to say who he was; because he had others to bear witness of him, and better testimonies than theirs, and lest his enemies should reproach him with an agreement and familiarity with them.

Mark 1:34 In-Context

32 But when the eventide was come, and the sun was gone down, they brought to him all that were of mal-ease, and them that had fiends. [Forsooth the evening made, when the sun went down, they brought to him all having evil, and having devils.]

33 And all the city was gathered at the gate.

34 And he healed many, that had diverse sicknesses, and he cast out many fiends [And he healed many that were travailed with diverse sores, and he cast out many devils], and he suffered them not to speak, for they knew him.

35 And he rose full early, and went out [And in the morrowing full early he rising], and went into a desert place, and prayed there.

36 And Simon followed him, and they that were with him.
