Commentary on Acts 19:16

Theological / Devotional

The demoniac leaped on the exorcists, who fled in dismay. Textual evidence suggests "overcoming both of them," possibly only two sons involved. "Naked" may mean their outer garments were torn off, leaving only short tunics. Luke's record is factual and stops here.
