Commentary

Bede

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (735)

While the boy is coming to our Lord, he is dashed to the ground; because men when turned to the Lord are often grievously afflicted by the devil, that he may instil a hatred of virtue, or revenge the injury of his expulsion. As in the beginning of the Church he waged as many fierce conflicts as he had to bewail losses suddenly brought upon His kingdom.

The record, by era

The Nineteenth Century1 voice

Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The New Park Street Pulpit, Sermon No. 100: “The Comer's Conflict with Satan” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1856)

THIS child possessed with an evil spirit, is a most fitting emblem of every ungodly and unconverted man. Though we be not possessed with devils, yet by nature we are possessed with devilish vices and lusts, which if they do not distress and vex our bodies, will most certainly destroy our souls. Never creature possessed with evil spirit was in a worse plight than the man who is without God, without Christ, and without hope in the world.
