This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

28. τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί. I.e. ‘Why should’st thou interfere with me?’ 2Sa 16:10; 2Sa 19:22. See Luk 4:24. Bauer refers to obvious imitations of this narrative in the story of the Lamia expelled by Apollonius of Tyana (Philostr. IV. 25).

τοῦ ὑψίστου. Probably the epithet was customary in exorcisms or attempted exorcisms, and hence we find it used by another demoniac (Act 16:17). Jesus is not so called elsewhere, except in Luk 1:32.

μή με βασανίσῃς. ‘The demons … believe and tremble,’ Jam 2:19. On this conception of torment see Mar 1:24; Mat 18:34.
