Mark 5:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. What have I to do with thee - Or, What is it to thee and me, or why dost thou trouble thyself with me? See on Mark 1:24 (note), and Matthew 8:29 (note), where the idiom and meaning are explained.

Jesus - This is omitted by four MSS., and by several in Luke 8:28, and by many of the first authority in Matthew 8:29 (note). See the note on this latter place.
