The first miracle recorded by St Matt. is the healing of a leper by a touch (Mat 8:1-4<\/span>); the first miracle which St John records is the changing water into wine (Joh 2:1-11<\/span>); the first miracle recorded by St Mark and St Luke (Luk 4:33-37<\/span>) is this casting out of a demon in the synagogue of Capernaum.<\/p>\n Verse 26. And when the unclean spirit had torn him<\/B><\/I>] And had<\/I> thrown him down in the midst<\/I>, Lu 4:35<\/span>, , and convulsed<\/I> him. Never was there a person possessed by an unclean spirit who did not suffer a convulsion<\/I>, perhaps a total ruin<\/I> of nature by it. Sins of uncleanness<\/I>, as the apostle intimates, are against the body<\/I>; they sap the foundation of life, so that there are very few of this class, whether male or female, that live out half their days: they generally die martyrs<\/I> to their lusts. When the propensities of the flesh are most violent<\/I> in a person who is determined to serve God, it is often a proof that these are the last efforts<\/I> of the impure spirit, who has great rages because he knows his time is but short<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n 26.

Not that he had torn any limb from him, or had made any wound in any part of his body; for Luke says, Lu 4:35<\/span>, 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:<\/p>\n and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him<\/strong>; though sorely, against his will, as his loud cry showed, and being obliged to it by a superior power.<\/p>\n Tearing him <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>).

Lu 4:35<\/span> adds “when the demon had thrown him down in the midst.” Mark mentions the “loud voice” ( <\/SPAN><\/span>), a screech, in fact. It was a moment of intense excitement. <\/P> <\/p>\n Had torn (<\/B>)<\/B><\/P> Rev., tearing, convulsions <\/I>in margin.

The demons obeyed Jesus, because they had to do so. 0 that demon possessed, unsaved, fallen men might voluntarily obey His voice and Spirit when He calls them from sin to salvation, Heb 3:7<\/span>; Heb 4:7<\/span>.<\/p>\n Mar 1:26<\/span><\/p>\n When the unclean spirit had torn him Luke uses a milder phrase, when the devil had thrown him down: but they agree perfectly as to the meaning; for the design of both was to show, that the devil went out of the man in a violent manner. He threw down the unhappy man, as if he had intended to tear him: but Luke says that the attempt was unsuccessful; for he hurt him nothing Not that the attack was, in no degree whatever, attended by injury, or at least by some feeling of pain; but that the man was afterwards delivered from the devil, and restored to perfect health. <\/p>\n (26) He<\/strong> came out of<\/strong> him.<\/strong>St. Luke adds the fact and hurt him not.<\/p>\n 26<\/strong>. <\/strong> Had torn him <\/em> Rather, had convulsed him. Luke says he left the man without doing him any permanent injury. Cried with a loud voice <\/em> In this respect he hardly disobeyed the command to hold his peace; for he did not speak any more or utter any further testimony to the divinity of Jesus. But with a cry of despair, rage, and fear, he surrenders his place and departs.<\/p>\n Mar 1:26<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Had torn him<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Had thrown him into convulsions. <\/em>That this is a proper translation, though circuitous, appears from St. Luke, who informs us, that the spirit did not hurt him. <\/em>It is remarkable, that in all the cures of this sort which our Lord performed, the person to be cured was agitated by the demon who possessed him in the most violent manner, at the time of the cure, and raised to perfect health by the expulsion of the demon in an instant. The reason was, that thus the reality and greatness, both of the possession and the cure, were fully proved, to the conviction of every beholder; and therefore the demon was probably in some sense compelled to exert himself. <\/p>\n 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 26.
