Demons also came out of many people
The phrase highlights the spiritual authority of Jesus over demonic forces. In the Greek, "demons" is "daimonia," which refers to evil spirits or fallen angels. The historical context of the time shows that demonic possession was a recognized affliction, and Jesus' ability to cast them out demonstrated His divine power and authority. This act of exorcism was a sign of the in-breaking of God's kingdom, where Jesus, the Messiah, was reclaiming dominion over creation.

shouting, 'You are the Son of God.'
The demons' proclamation, "You are the Son of God," is significant because it acknowledges Jesus' divine identity. The Greek word for "shouting" is "kraugazō," indicating a loud, public declaration. This recognition by the demons contrasts with the human misunderstanding of Jesus' identity at the time. The title "Son of God" affirms Jesus' unique relationship with the Father, a central tenet of Christian faith, emphasizing His divinity and messianic role.

But He rebuked them
The word "rebuked" in Greek is "epitimaō," which means to censure or admonish. Jesus' rebuke of the demons demonstrates His authority over them and His control over the spiritual realm. This action also reflects His desire to prevent the demons from revealing His identity prematurely, as His mission was to be revealed according to God's timing and plan.

and would not allow them to speak
Jesus' refusal to let the demons speak underscores His authority and the importance of His mission. The Greek phrase "would not allow" is "ouk eia," indicating a strong prohibition. By silencing the demons, Jesus ensures that His identity and mission are revealed through His words and actions, not through the testimony of evil spirits. This also highlights the theme of divine timing and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

because they knew He was the Christ
The demons' knowledge that Jesus was "the Christ" is profound. "Christ" is the Greek "Christos," meaning "Anointed One," equivalent to the Hebrew "Messiah." This acknowledgment by the demons points to the spiritual reality of Jesus' identity and mission. It also serves as a reminder of the spiritual warfare present in the world and the ultimate victory of Christ over evil. Jesus' control over the revelation of His identity emphasizes His sovereignty and the unfolding of God's salvation plan through Him.

Verse 41. - Thou art Christ the Son of God. The older authorities omit "Christ," and read simply, "Thou art the Son of God." For they knew that he was Christ; better rendered, that he was the Christ, or Messiah. After the Crucifixion, but not till then, "Christ" became a proper name. It was before simply a title, signifying "the Messiah," "the Anointed One." These words of the evil spirits do not seem to have been prompted by any design, as some have supposed, to excite the people either for or against the fresh Teacher; they are simply a cry of involuntary adoration. They knew who that poor Carpenter-Rabbi was; they had seen him in his Divine glory!
