This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar_1:25 f. Αὐτῷ ] to the demon, who had spoken out of the man.[56]
The demon, before he goes forth, once more gives vent to his whole fury on the man by tearing ( σπαράξαν ) him. Comp. Mar_9:26; Luk_9:42.
[56] To refer φιμώθητι , with Strauss, II. p. 21, following older expositors, merely to the demon’s declaration of the Messiahship of Jesus, is, in view of the general character of the word, arbitrary. It is the command of the victor in general: Be silent and go out! Strauss appeals to i. 34, iii. 12. But these prohibitions refer to the time after the going out.
