Lucas 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:33

And in the synagogue there was a man
That is, in the synagogue at Capernaum, as Christ was there teaching, on one of the sabbath days before mentioned; there was a certain man,

which had a spirit of an unclean devil:
who was possessed with the devil, who is by nature and practice unclean; and was filled with the spirit of the devil, with a spirit of divination, and was acted by him, to impose upon the people; he influenced his mind as an enthusiast, as well as possessed his body: and this was on the sabbath day; whereas the Jews say F25, that

``Satan and the evil demon flee on the sabbath day to the mountains of darkness, and do not appear all the sabbath day, because that day is holy, and they are "unclean"; but in the evening of the sabbath they prepare themselves, and meet the children of men, and hurt them.''

And cried out with a loud voice;
(See Gill on Mark 1:23).

Lucas 4:33 In-Context

31 Então desceu a Cafarnaum, cidade da Galiléia, e os ensinava no sábado.
32 e maravilharam-se da sua doutrina, porque a sua palavra era com autoridade.
33 Havia na sinagoga um homem que tinha o espírito de um demônio imundo; e gritou em alta voz:
34 Ah! que temos nós contigo, Jesus, nazareno? vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem é: o Santo de Deus.
35 Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele. E o demônio, tendo-o lançado por terra no meio do povo, saiu dele sem lhe fazer mal algum.
