Marcos 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:11

And unclean spirits, when they saw him
That is, as the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "they who had unclean spirits": or, as the Ethiopic, "they that were possessed with unclean spirits"; as soon as ever they beheld Christ, though they had never seen him before, and he was an entire stranger to them, yet

fell down before him:
the unclean spirits being said to do that, which they that were possessed with them did; and which, notwithstanding their possession of them, they could not prevent, but were obliged to admit of it, as a token of their subjection to Christ:

and
even the devils themselves in the men,

cried, saying, thou art the Son of God;
a divine person, equal with God; and such his power over them, and his healing all manner of diseases, by a word, or touch, showed him to be.

Marcos 3:11 In-Context

9 Recomendou, pois, a seus discípulos que se lhe preparasse um barquinho, por causa da multidão, para que não o apertasse;

10 porque tinha curado a muitos, de modo que todos quantos tinham algum mal arrojavam-se a ele para lhe tocarem.

11 E os espíritos imundos, quando o viam, prostravam-se diante dele e clamavam, dizendo: Tu és o Filho de Deus.

12 E ele lhes advertia com insistência que não o dessem a conhecer.

13 Depois subiu ao monte, e chamou a si os que ele mesmo queria; e vieram a ele.
