11 E gli spiriti immondi, quando lo vedevano, si gittavano davanti a lui e gridavano: Tu sei il Figliuol di Dio!

Marco 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.

Marco 3:11 In-Context

9 Ed egli disse ai suoi discepoli che gli tenessero sempre pronta una barchetta a motivo della calca, che talora non l’affollasse.

10 Perché egli ne aveva guariti molti; cosicché tutti quelli che aveano qualche flagello gli si precipitavano addosso per toccarlo.

11 E gli spiriti immondi, quando lo vedevano, si gittavano davanti a lui e gridavano: Tu sei il Figliuol di Dio!

12 Ed egli li sgridava forte, affinché non facessero conoscere chi egli era.

13 Poi Gesù salì sul monte e chiamò a sé quei ch’egli stesso volle, ed essi andarono a lui.
