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.
