Acts 8:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Unclean spirits, crying with loud voice; this is frequently mentioned, as Matthew 8:29 Mark 1:26, Mark 3:11 5:8 Luke 4:41, to show how doth these evil spirits are to be forbid and kept from tormenting and destroying of us; and they are called unclean spirits, because they delight in sin, and instigate men unto it, which is spiritual uncleanness, and defile the soul. Taken with palsies, and other diseases and infirmities: this was promised, Mark 16:17,18, that they which believe should cure in Christ's name, or by his power.

Acts 8:7

7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
