This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Had thrown him down in the midst (rhipsan auton eis to meson). First aorist (effective) participle of rhiptō, an old verb with violent meaning, to fling, throw, hurl off or down.
Having done him no hurt (mēden blapsan auton). Luke as a physician carefully notes this important detail not in Mark. Blaptō, to injure, or hurt, occurs in the N.T. only here and in Mar 16:18, though a very common verb in the old Greek.
