11 En de onreine geesten, als zij Hem zagen, vielen voor Hem neder en riepen, zeggende: Gij zijt de Zone Gods.

Markus 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.

10 Want Hij had er velen genezen, alzo dat Hem al degenen, die enige kwalen hadden, overvielen, opdat zij Hem mochten aanraken.

11 En de onreine geesten, als zij Hem zagen, vielen voor Hem neder en riepen, zeggende: Gij zijt de Zone Gods.

12 En Hij gebood hun scherpelijk dat zij Hem niet zouden openbaar maken.

13 En Hij klom op den berg, en riep tot Zich, die Hij wilde; en zij kwamen tot Hem.
