Luke 4:33-36 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 4:31-44

When Christ was expelled Nazareth, he came to Capernaum, another city of Galilee. The account we have in these verses of his preaching and miracles there we had before, Mark 1:21 Observe, I. His preaching: He taught them on the sabbath days, Luke 4:31. In hearing the word preached, as an ordinance of God, we worship God, and it is a proper work for sabbath days. Christ's preaching much affected the people (Luke 4:32); they were astonished at his doctrine, there was weight in every word he... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 4:31-37

4:31-37 Jesus came down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbath day; and they were astonished at his teaching because his speech was with authority. There was in the synagogue a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon and he cried out with a loud voice, "What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God." So Jesus rebuked it. "Be muzzled," he said, "and come out of him." And after the demon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:33

And in the synagogue there was a man ,.... That is, in the synagogue at Capernaum, as Christ was there teaching, on one of the sabbath days before mentioned; there was a certain man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil : who was possessed with the devil, who is by nature and practice unclean; and was filled with the spirit of the devil, with a spirit of divination, and was acted by him, to impose upon the people; he influenced his mind as an enthusiast, as well as possessed his body:... read more

Saying, let us alone ,.... Not that there were more spirits in him than one, as the whole account shows; but he includes the rest of the devils in that country; See Gill on Mark 1:24 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:36

And they were all amazed ,.... The people in the synagogue; they were astonished at his doctrine before, and now at his miracles: and spake among themselves ; as they were in the synagogue, what a word is this? meaning, either what sort of doctrine is this which is attended with such power and miracles; or what a word of command is this, "hold thy peace, and come out of him?" and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "what is this mandatory", or "commanding word?" to which agrees the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:33

A spirit of an unclean devil - As demon was used both in a good and bad sense before and after the time of the evangelists the word unclean may have been added here by St. Luke, merely to express the quality of this spirit. But it is worthy of remark, that the inspired writers never use the word δαιμων , demon, in a good sense. See the whole of this case explained, Mark 1:23 ; (note), etc. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:35

And hurt him not - Though he convulsed him, Mark 2:26 , and threw him down in the midst of them, probably with the design to take away his life, yet our Lord permitted it not; and this appears to be the meaning of the place. The spirit was not permitted essentially to injure him at that time. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:33

Verse 33 Luke 4:33.A man having a spirit of an unclean devil. This mode of expression, which Luke employs, conveys the idea, that the man was driven by the impulse of the devil. By the permission of God, Satan had seized the faculties of his soul in such a manner, as to drive him not only to speak, but to perform other movements, at his pleasure. And thus, when the demoniacs speak, the devils, who have received permission to tyrannise, speak in them and by them. The title, Holy One of God, was... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:36

Verse 36 Luke 4:36.And trembling came upon all This is the result of the miracle. They are compelled to acknowledge that there is in Christ something more than man, and justly trace the glory and power of the miracle to his doctrine. What speech is this, they say, which even the devils themselves are forced to obey? read more
