Lucas 9:39

39 Um espírito o domina; de repente ele grita, lança-o em convulsões e o faz espumar; quase nunca o abandona e o está destruindo.

Lucas 9:39 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:39

And, lo, a spirit taketh him
An evil spirit, the devil, as in ( Luke 9:42 ) seizes and possesses him at once,

and he suddenly crieth out;
in a most terrible manner, giving dreadful shrieks, as soon as he perceives that he is seized by the demon:

and it teareth him, that he foameth again;
throws him into convulsions, so that he foams at the mouth: and so we read ^F20 of a son of a certain Jew, that

``a certain spirit passed before him and hurt him, convulsed his mouth, and his eyes, and his hands were convulsed, and he could not speak.''

And bruising him;
by dashing him against the wall, or throwing him to the ground:

hardly departeth from him;
is very loath to leave him, even after he has distressed, convulsed, and bruised him in this dreadful manner, such was his cruelty and malice; (See Gill on Matthew 17:15) (See Gill on Mark 9:18)

Lucas 9:39 In-Context

37 No dia seguinte, quando desceram do monte, uma grande multidão veio ao encontro dele.

38 Um homem da multidão bradou: “Mestre, rogo-te que dês atenção ao meu filho, pois é o único que tenho.

39 Um espírito o domina; de repente ele grita, lança-o em convulsões e o faz espumar; quase nunca o abandona e o está destruindo.

40 Roguei aos teus discípulos que o expulsassem, mas eles não conseguiram”.

41 Respondeu Jesus: “Ó geração incrédula e perversa, até quando estarei com vocês e terei que suportá-los? Traga-me aqui o seu filho”.
