This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ver. 32-34. It was upon the sabbath day, (as appeareth from what went before), therefore the time is noted,
at even, when the sun did set. Before that time, when the sabbath was determined, the Jews thought it unlawful to carry any burdens, but after sunset they judged it lawful. The usage of the particle all here, Mar_1:32,33, is again observable to show the vanity of those who will from general particles conclude propositions contrary to the analogy of faith, those particles being often used in a restrained sense. Luke saith, that the devils cried out, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them, suffered them not to speak, because (or that) they knew him. Christ desired not to be published so soon under that notion, but he much less desired the devil’s testimony in the case: see Mar_1:25 Act_16:18. The good words of the devil and his seed are indeed a defamation to Christ and his seed.
