Luke 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).

Luke 4:35 In-Context

33 In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

34 "Let us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm.

36 They were all amazed and kept saying to one another, "What kind of utterance is this? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and out they come!"

37 And a report about him began to reach every place in the region.
