Mark 1:25 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And Jesus rebuked him - A spirit of this cast will only yield to the sovereign power of the Son of God. All watchings, fasting, and mortifications, considered in themselves, will do little or no good. Uncleanness, of every description, will only yield to the rebuke of God.
