And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him. Luke (Luke 4:35) says, "When he had thrown him in the midst." Malignant cruelty-just showing what he would have done, if permitted to go further: it was a last fling!
And cried with a loud voice - the voice of enforced submission and despair --
He came out of him. Luke (Luke 4:35) adds, "and hurt him not." Thus impotent were the malignity and rage of the impure spirit when under the restraint of "the Stronger One than the strong one armed" (Luke 11:21-22).
