Mark 1:26

26 et discerpens eum spiritus inmundus et exclamans voce magna exivit ab eo

Mark 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:26

And when the unclean spirit had torn him
Not that he had torn any limb from him, or had made any wound in any part of his body; for Luke says, ( Luke 4:35 ) , that he "hurt him not", but he shook him; and as Luke there says, "threw him in the midst", of the people, or synagogue; and so the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read here, "he cast him", or "threw him to the ground": he threw him into convulsions, and laid him prostrate on the floor:

and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him;
though sorely, against his will, as his loud cry showed, and being obliged to it by a superior power.

Mark 1:26 In-Context

24 dicens quid nobis et tibi Iesu Nazarene venisti perdere nos scio qui sis Sanctus Dei

25 et comminatus est ei Iesus dicens obmutesce et exi de homine

26 et discerpens eum spiritus inmundus et exclamans voce magna exivit ab eo

27 et mirati sunt omnes ita ut conquirerent inter se dicentes quidnam est hoc quae doctrina haec nova quia in potestate et spiritibus inmundis imperat et oboediunt ei

28 et processit rumor eius statim in omnem regionem Galilaeae
