Greek Commentary for Mark 1:27
By look and word. [source]
One surprise had followed another this day. The teaching was fresh It is not certain whether the phrase is to be taken with “new teaching,” “It‘s new teaching with authority behind it,” as Moffatt has it, or with the verb; “with authority commandeth even the unclean spirits” The position is equivocal and may be due to the fact that “Mark gives the incoherent and excited remarks of the crowd in this natural form” (Swete). But the most astonishing thing of all is that the demons “obey him” The people were accustomed to the use of magical formulae by the Jewish exorcists (Matthew 12:27; Acts 19:13), but here was something utterly different. Simon Magus could not understand how Simon Peter could do his miracles without some secret trick and even offered to buy it (Acts 8:19). [source]
Stronger than Luke, who has they spake together. Tynd., They demanded one of another among themselves. [source]
