Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, the Holy One of God.
All Commentaries on Mark 1:24 Go To Mark 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Does no demon call upon God’s name? Did not the demons say, “We know who you are, O Holy One of God?” Did they not say to Paul: “these men are the servants of the Most High God?” They did, but only upon scourging, only upon compulsion, never of their own will, never without being trounced.
