2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,



Ver. 2. A man with an unclean spirit] Graece, åí ðíåõìáôé áêáèáñôù . In an unclean spirit, quod eum spiritus quasi inclusum teneret. (Beza.) So the flesh is called "the old man," as if it were the whole of a natural man; and the devil is said to "work effectually" in such, Eph_2:2. {See Trapp on "Mar_1:23"}
