Robertson Word Pictures - Mark 5:7 - 5:7


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

I adjure thee by God (horkizō se ton theon). The demoniac puts Jesus on oath (two accusatives) after the startled outcry just like the one in Mar 1:24, which see. He calls Jesus here “son of the Most High God” (huie tou theou tou hupsistou) as in Luk 8:28 (cf. Gen 14:18.).

Torment me not (mē me basanisēis). Prohibition with mē and the ingressive aorist subjunctive. The word means to test metals and then to test one by torture (cf. our “third degree”). Same word in all three Gospels.
