Luca 4:35

35 E Gesù lo sgridò, dicendo: Ammutolisci, ed esci da quest’uomo! E il demonio, gettatolo a terra in mezzo alla gente, uscì da lui senza fargli alcun male.

Luca 4:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:35

And Jesus rebuked him
Not the man, but the unclean spirit: or "that demon", as the Persic version reads it:

saying, hold thy peace,
or "be thou muzzled", as the word signifies,

and come out of him;
(See Gill on Matthew 1:25).

and when the devil had thrown him in the midst;
in the "midst of them", as the Arabic version adds; that is, in the midst of the people that were in the synagogue; or, as the Ethiopic version reads, "in the midst of the synagogue", where he threw him into convulsive fits, and left him:

he came out of him, and hurt him not;
though he sadly convulsed him, and put him to great pain, yet he did not wound him in any part of his body, or take away the use of any of his limbs; and much less hurt his soul so as to destroy it; all which was desired and intended by him, but was hindered by Christ; (See Gill on Mark 1:26).

Luca 4:35 In-Context

33 Or nella sinagoga si trovava un uomo posseduto da uno spirito d’immondo demonio, il quale gridò con gran voce: Ahi!

34 Che v’è fra noi e te, o Gesù Nazareno? Se’ tu venuto per perderci? Io so chi tu sei: il Santo di Dio!

35 E Gesù lo sgridò, dicendo: Ammutolisci, ed esci da quest’uomo! E il demonio, gettatolo a terra in mezzo alla gente, uscì da lui senza fargli alcun male.

36 E tutti furon presi da sbigottimento e ragionavan fra loro, dicendo: Qual parola è questa? Egli comanda con autorità e potenza agli spiriti immondi, ed essi escono.

37 E la sua fama si spargeva in ogni parte della circostante contrada.
