11 Et quand les esprits immondes le voyaient, ils se prosternaient devant lui et s'écriaient: Tu es le Fils de Dieu!

Marc 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.

Marc 3:11 In-Context

9 Et il dit à ses disciples qu'il y eût une petite barque toute prête auprès de lui, à cause de la multitude, de peur qu'elle ne le pressât trop.

10 Car il en avait guéri plusieurs, de sorte que tous ceux qui avaient des maladies se jetaient sur lui pour le toucher.

11 Et quand les esprits immondes le voyaient, ils se prosternaient devant lui et s'écriaient: Tu es le Fils de Dieu!

12 Mais il leur défendait, avec menace, de le faire connaître.

13 Il monta ensuite sur la montagne, et appela ceux qu'il jugea à propos, et ils vinrent à lui.
