-== Questions ==
-* Why does the unclean spirit speak in the first-person plural?
-−
-== Lexical notes ==
-* As the context suggests, the "scribes" of verse 22 doesn't refer to someone who merely writes things down. The Greek word translated as "scribes" here is ''grammateus'', which is generally translated today as "teachers of the law," "experts on the law" or something similar.

-== Exegesis ==
-* Verse 22: Apparently it was the custom in those days, as it is today, for those teaching to quote the "general authorities" of the day, or of scriptures, to lend their support to what they taught. But Jesus acted as, and was seen as, one who himself had the authority to teach doctrine.
-−
-* Verse 24, perhaps in answer to the question of why the spirit speaks in first-person plural: It seems clear from the pronouns used in the surrounding verses that this is one spirit, not several. Note that though the verse begins using the first person plural it ends with a sentence using the first person singular: "I know thee who thou art...." This seems to signal that something different is going on in the first two sentences of the verse than the last. It may be that in the first two sentences (when the spirit uses the first person plural) the spirit was trying to setup a local dispute: "Let us alone! Why are you trying to come here and stir up trouble with new ideas? You're an outsider! Go away!" But then quickly the spirit escalates into accusing. At this point it speaks as itself, using the first person singular and revealing Christ's identity, something Christ didn't want known yet (see verse 34).

-* Verse 24, perhaps in answer to the question of why the spirit speaks in first-person plural: It seems clear from the pronouns used in the surrounding verses that this is one spirit, not several. Why then use the plural? If we see these words as spoken through a person in the synagogue, then perhaps at first the spirit was trying to set up a local dispute: "Let us alone! Why are you trying to come here and stir up trouble with new ideas? You're an outsider! Go away!" But then quickly, the spirit escalates into accusing and then revealing Christ's identity, something He didn't want known yet (see verse 24).
