Commentary

Commentary on Mark 3:11

Theological / Devotional

Unclean spirits. See on ch. 1:23.

Saw. In the Greek, the series of verbs, “saw,” “fell down,” and “cried,” all indicate continuing or oft-repeated action.

Fell down. Some have suggested the possibility that the demons thereby wished to give the impression that they recognized Jesus as their leader, thus implying that He was in league with them. If so, Christ’s refusal of their testimony becomes all the more significant.

Son of God. See Additional Note on John 1; see on Luke 1:35; John 1:1-3.
