Context of Mark 1:24

22And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23And there was in their synagogue a man [possessed] by an unclean spirit, and he cried out saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God. 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him. 26And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.

They constantly identify him as the Holy One of God (for similar phrases see 3:11; 5:7). In saying us, the evil spirit spoke on behalf of all demons. It recognized that Jesus has full authority and…Read the comment
