In biblical times, shouting was often associated with strong emotions or spiritual manifestations. This loud voice can be seen as a reflection of the demonic influence, as demons often caused physical and vocal disturbances in their hosts (<a href="/mark/1-23.htm">Mark 1:23-24</a>).What do You want with me, Jesus The demon recognizes Jesus' authority and presence, indicating a spiritual awareness that transcends human understanding.

The demon's use of this title underscores the spiritual realm's recognition of Jesus' identity, contrasting with the often slow recognition by humans.I beg You before God The demon's plea is a direct appeal to Jesus' authority, acknowledging that any power it has is subject to God's will. This phrase indicates the demon's understanding of the spiritual hierarchy and its subservience to divine authority. It also reflects the common practice of invoking a higher power in oaths or pleas during biblical times.not to torture me! The demon's fear of torture suggests an awareness of impending judgment and punishment. This reflects the eschatological belief in the ultimate defeat and punishment of evil (<a href="/matthew/25-41.htm">Matthew 25:41</a>, <a href="/revelation/20-10.htm">Revelation 20:10</a>).

As a divine name "the Most High God" belonged to the earliest stage of the patriarchal worship of the one Supreme Deity. Melchizedek appears as the priest of "the Most High God" (<a href="/genesis/14-18.htm" title="And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.">Genesis 14:18</a>). It is used by Balaam as the prophet of the wider Semitic monotheism (<a href="/numbers/24-16.htm" title="He has said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:">Numbers 24:16</a>), by Moses in the great psalm of <a href="/deuteronomy/32-8.htm" title="When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.">Deuteronomy 32:8</a>.

In many of these passages it will be seen that it was used where there was some point of contact in fact or feeling with nations which, though acknowledging one Supreme God, were not of the stock of Abraham. The old Hebrew word (Elion) found a ready equivalent in the Greek ??????? (hypsistos), which had already been used by Pindar as a divine name. That word accordingly appeared frequently in the Greek version of the Old Testament, and came into frequent use among Hellenistic or Greek-speaking Jews, occurring, e.g., not less than forty times in the book Ecclesiasticus. It was one of the words which, in later as in earlier times, helped to place the Gentile and the Jew on a common ground. As such, it seems, among other uses, to have been frequently used as a formula of exorcism; and this, perhaps, accounts for its being met with here and in <a href="/luke/8-28.htm" title="When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.">Luke 8:28</a>, <a href="/acts/16-17.htm" title="The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show to us the way of salvation.">Acts 16:17</a>, as coming from the lips of demoniacs. It was the name of God which had most often been sounded in their ears. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - He cried with a loud voice; that is, the evil spirit cried out, using the organs of the man whom he possessed. What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? From hence it appears that, although at the great temptation of our Lord in the wilderness, Satan had but an imperfect knowledge of him: yet now, after the evidence of these great miracles, and more especially of his power over the evil spirits, there was a general belief amongst the hosts of evil that he was indeed the Son of God, the Messiah. I adjure thee by God, torment me not. The torment which he dreaded was that which he might suffer after expulsion. So St. Luke says that they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss. Great as this mystery of evil is, we may believe that the evil spirits, although while they roam about upon this earth they are in misery, still it is some alleviation that they are not yet shut up in the prison-house of hell, but are suffered to wander about and their depraved pleasure in tempting men; so that, if possible, they may at last drag them down with them into the abyss. For they are full of hatred of God and envy of man; and they find a miserable satisfaction in endeavoring to keep men out of those heavenly mansions from which, through pride, they are themselves now for ever excluded. <a href="/commentaries/mark/5-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. he shouted κράξας (kraxas) Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2896.htm">Strong's 2896: </a> To cry aloud, shriek.
