Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - From many of those which had unclean spirits, they came out crying with a loud voice for unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, A.V.; that were palsied for taken with palsies, A.V. From many of those, etc. The R.T. is represented by the margin, but it is nonsense. The different rendering depends upon whether πνεύματα ἀκάθατα is taken as the subject to ἐξήρχετο, or as the object after ἔχοντα. In one case, πνεύματα or αὐτά must be understood after ἐχόντων, as in the A.V., which inserts with them in italics; in the other, the same word must be understood before ἐξήρχετο, as in the R.V., which inserts they. The latter construction seems right, but the sense is the same, and the A.V. is much the nearest rendering. That were palsied. The purpose and effect of miracles is here clearly shown, to attract attention, and to evidence to the hearers and seers that the workers of miracles are God's messengers, and that the Word which they preach is God's Word.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice.--The MSS. present several variations in the structure of the sentence, but they do not affect its meaning. The character of the "signs" agrees with those that are recorded in the Gospels. The "great cry," partly, it may be, of agony, partly of exultation at deliverance, agrees with Mark 1:26; Luke 4:33.
