This exclamation reflects a sudden and intense reaction, often associated with fear or surprise. In the context of the synagogue, it indicates the demon's recognition of Jesus' authority and presence, which is a common reaction of evil spirits when confronted by the divine.What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? The demon's question reveals an awareness of Jesus' identity and mission. "Jesus of Nazareth" emphasizes His human origin, connecting Him to the town where He was raised. This phrase also highlights the tension between the spiritual realm and Jesus' earthly ministry, as demons recognize His authority over them. The question implies a confrontation between the forces of evil and the divine purpose of Jesus.Have You come to destroy us? This reflects the demon's fear of judgment and destruction, acknowledging Jesus' power over evil. The question suggests an awareness of the ultimate fate of demonic forces, as prophesied in scriptures like <a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a>, where the seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head. It also foreshadows the eschatological defeat of evil, as seen in <a href="/revelation/20-10.htm">Revelation 20:10</a>.I know who You are— The demon's declaration of knowledge indicates a spiritual recognition of Jesus' true identity, which contrasts with the lack of understanding among many of the people present. This acknowledgment underscores the spiritual insight that even demons possess regarding Jesus' divine nature.the Holy One of God! This title affirms Jesus' divine nature and His unique relationship with God. "Holy One" is a term used in the Old Testament to describe God's purity and separateness from sin (e.g., <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, <a href="/isaiah/43-3.htm">Isaiah 43:3</a>). By using this title, the demon acknowledges Jesus' sanctity and His role as the Messiah, the anointed one sent by God to fulfill His redemptive plan. This recognition aligns with other New Testament affirmations of Jesus' divinity, such as Peter's confession in <a href="/john/6-69.htm">John 6:69</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_of_nazareth.htm">Jesus of Nazareth</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is recognized by the demon as the "Holy One of God," indicating His divine authority and identity. 2. <a href="/topical/d/demon-possessed_man.htm">Demon-Possessed Man</a> The man in the synagogue who is possessed by an unclean spirit.

This man, with his evil spirit, would have been looked on as unclean, and would not have been admitted within the synagogue walls; he had probably crept in unseen. Something in the nearness to the holy Teacher we know compelled the demon to cry aloud. It is strange, this presence of God causing pain. It is the impossibility of the wounded eye bearing light. The cry rendered, "Let us alone," is scarcely the imperative of ἐάω, but an interjection, possibly the Greek reproduction of the Hebrew אֲהָהּ, ah! woe! There was evidently some deeper degree of misery possible for the unhappy spirit; hence its "Art thou come to destroy us?" The same dread appears in the case of the Gadarene demoniac (<a href="/mark/5-7.htm">Mark 5:7</a>; <a href="/matthew/8-29.htm">Matthew 8:29</a>), where the spirits dreaded being driven into the deep, where such spirits await the judgment, that abyss, literally, "the bottomless place;" any doom seemed to these lost ones preferable to that.
