This phrase is spoken by a man possessed by an unclean spirit in the synagogue at Capernaum. The question reflects the demon's recognition of Jesus' authority and presence. The use of "us" suggests a collective acknowledgment of Jesus' power over demonic forces. "Jesus of Nazareth" identifies Jesus by His earthly origin, emphasizing His humanity and connection to a specific location, Nazareth, a town in Galilee. This title is significant as it was often used to highlight Jesus' humble beginnings and fulfill the prophecy that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God! Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus of NazarethThe central figure of the New Testament, recognized here by the demon as the "Holy One of God." His earthly origin is noted as Nazareth, a town in Galilee. 2. Demon-Possessed Man The individual through whom the demon speaks. This encounter takes place in a synagogue, a place of Jewish worship and teaching. 3. Synagogue in Capernaum The setting of this event, a place where Jesus often taught and performed miracles, located in the town of Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee. 4. Demon A spiritual being opposed to God, acknowledging Jesus' divine authority and expressing fear of destruction. 5. Holy One of God A title recognizing Jesus' divine nature and authority, used by the demon to identify Jesus. Teaching Points Recognition of Jesus' AuthorityEven the spiritual realm acknowledges Jesus' divine authority. Believers are called to recognize and submit to His lordship in every area of life. Spiritual Warfare Awareness The encounter highlights the reality of spiritual warfare. Christians should be vigilant and equipped with the armor of God to stand firm against spiritual opposition. Jesus' Power Over Evil Jesus' authority over demons demonstrates His power to deliver and protect. Believers can trust in His power to overcome evil in their lives. Confession of Faith The demon's confession, though involuntary, points to the importance of acknowledging Jesus as the Holy One of God. Believers are encouraged to boldly confess their faith in Christ. Fear of Judgment The demon's fear of destruction underscores the reality of divine judgment. This serves as a reminder of the importance of repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation.(24) What have we to do with thee?--The cry is identical with that of the Gadarene demoniacs (Matthew 8:29). Here, as there, the possessed man has a preternatural intuition of our Lord's greatness. The Holy One of God.--The name occurs, as applied to Christ, only here, in the parallel passage of Luke 4:34, and in the better MSS. of John 6:69. It probably had its origin in the Messianic application of "Thy Holy One" in Psalm 16:10. Its strict meaning is "the Holy One whom God owns as such," who has attained, i.e., the highest form of holiness. Verse 24. - The expression, Ἔα, incorrectly rendered Let us alone, has not sufficient authority to be retained here, though it is rightly retained in the parallel passage in St. Luke (Luke 4:34), where it is rendered in the Revised Version "Ah!" or "Ha!" If rendered, "Let us alone," or "Let alone," it must be assumed to be the imperative of ἐάω. It will be observed that this cry of the unclean spirit is spontaneous, before our Lord has addressed him. In real truth, the preaching of Jesus has already thrown the whole world of evil spirits into a state of excitement and alarm. The powers of darkness are beginning to tremble. They resent this intrusion into their domain. They feel that One greater than Satan has appeared, and they ask, What have we to do with thee? Wherein have we injured thee, that thou shouldest seek to drive us out of our possession? We have nothing to do with thee, thou Holy One of God; but we have a right to take possession of sinners. Beds says that the evil spirits, perceiving that "our Lord had come into the world, believed that they were about at once to be judged. They knew that dispossession would be their entrance upon a condition of torment, and therefore it is that they deprecate it." I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. St. Mark is very careful to bring out the hidden knowledge possessed by evil spirits, which enabled them at once to recognize the personality of Jesus (see Mark 1:34; Mark 3:11). It was given to them by him who has supreme power over the spiritual as well as the material world, to know as much as he saw fit that they should know; and he was pleased to make known as much as was needful. "But he made himself known to them, not as he makes himself known to the holy angels, who know him as the Word of God, and rejoice in his eternity, of which they partake. To the evil spirits he made himself known only so far as was requisite to strike with terror the beings from whose tyranny he was about to free those who were predestinated unto his kingdom and the glory of it" (see St. Augustine, 'City of God,' bk. 9:§ 21).Parallel Commentaries ...
