Bible Comments

What have we to do with Thee?. Hebraism. See note on 2 Samuel 16:10. Occurs in Mark 1:24; Mark 5:7; Luke 4:34; Luke 8:28. and John 2:4.

Jesus. All the texts (App-94.) omit "Jesus" here. "Jesus" omitted here by the texts probably out of respect for His name being spoken by demons.

Son of God. See App-98.

before. Greek. pro. App-104.
