Mark 1:26 Summary

In Mark 1:26, we see Jesus' power over an unclean spirit that was controlling a man. The spirit tried to resist, but Jesus' authority was too great, and it was forced to leave. This shows us that Jesus has power over all kinds of evil and can set people free from its influence, as also seen in Luke 4:18. Just like Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to leave, we can trust in His power to help us overcome any challenges we face, and we can ask for His help in times of need, as encouraged in Psalm 50:15 and Philippians 4:6.

Gill's Exposition on Mark 1:26

And when the unclean spirit had torn him,.... Not that he had torn any limb from him, or had made any wound in any part of his body; for Luke says, Lu 4:35, that he "hurt him not", but he shook him;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Mark 1:26

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 1:26

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. Ver. 26. And when the unclean spirit had torn him] So he will serve all that he is now at one with, as Bradford hath it. You are the devil’ s birds (saith he to all wicked ones), whom, when he hath well fed, he will broach you, and eat you, chew you, and champ you, world without end, in eternal woe and misery. And cried with a loud voice] But said nothing, according to Mark 1:25. He came out of him] With as ill a will goes the worldling’ s soul out of his body. God tears it out, as Job somewhere hath it; death makes forcible entry, Job 27:8.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 1:26

(26) He came out of him.—St. Luke adds the fact “and hurt him not.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Mark 1:26

Verse 26. And when the unclean spirit had torn him] And had thrown him down in the midst, Lu 4:35, καισπαραξαν, and convulsed him. Never was there a person possessed by an unclean spirit who did not suffer a convulsion, perhaps a total ruin of nature by it. Sins of uncleanness, as the apostle intimates, are against the body; they sap the foundation of life, so that there are very few of this class, whether male or female, that live out half their days: they generally die martyrs to their lusts. When the propensities of the flesh are most violent in a person who is determined to serve God, it is often a proof that these are the last efforts of the impure spirit, who has great rages because he knows his time is but short.

Cambridge Bible on Mark 1:26

26. had torn him] i. e. thrown him into strong convulsions, and according to St Luke’s account, into the midst (Luke 4:35), comp. Mark 9:26. The first miracle recorded by St Matt. is the healing of a leper by a touch (Matthew 8:1-4); the first miracle which St John records is the changing water into wine (John 2:1-11); the first miracle recorded by St Mark and St Luke (Luke 4:33-37) is this casting out of a demon in the synagogue of Capernaum.

Whedon's Commentary on Mark 1:26
