Context of Mark 1:24

22The people were very surprised at the things that Jesus taught them. When he taught them, he showed his authority. That was not like the way that the teachers of God's Law taught people. 23In the meeting place, there was a man who had a bad spirit. The bad spirit caused the man to shout. He said, ‘Jesus from Nazareth, leave us alone! Do not kill us! I know who you are. You are the Holy One and God has sent you.’ 25Jesus said to the bad spirit, ‘Be quiet! Come out of the man!’ 26The bad spirit caused the man to shake and to fall down. It shouted loudly and then it came out of the man.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-28Verses 23-28 The devil is an unclean spirit, because he has lost all the purity of his nature, because he acts in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit of God, and by his suggestions defiles the spirits of men.

It recognized that Jesus has full authority and…Read the comment

It denotes entire separation of interests:--that is, "Thou and we have nothing in common; we want not Thee; what wouldst Thou with us?" For the analogous application of it by our Lord to His mother, see on Joh 2:4. thou Jesus of…Read the comment
