This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Fell down (προσέπεσεν)
Mark has προσεκύνησεν, which often implies religious or superstitious feeling, as Mat 4:9, Mat 4:10. This is the prostration of abject terror.
Cried out (ἀνακράξας)
The compound verb with ἀνά, up, implies what is conveyed by our phrase, lifting up the voice. See on Mar 5:5.
What have I to do with thee?
See on Mar 5:7.
Torment (βασαμίσῃς)
See on Mat 4:24. Luke never uses the word of sickness, as Mat 8:6. See on Luk 4:41.
