Luk 4:33. Πνεῦμα δαιμονίου ἀκαθάρτου, a spirit of an unclean demon) A peculiar phrase. The word Spirit denotes its operation or mode of working; demon, its nature. The Vulg. simply renders it, dæmonium immundum.[53]-ἀνέκραζε, commenced to cry out) It does not seem to have become known to the people until now, that this man was one possessed.
[53] So abcd. These and Vulg. evidently omit πνεῦμα and read, with D, δαιμόνιον ἀκάθαρτον. Comp. Mar 1:26.-ED. and TRANSL.
