Commentary
PETER'S MOTHER-IN-LAW AND MANY OTHERS, HEALED. (Luk 4:38-41) suffered them not to speak--The marginal reading ("to say that they knew him to be Christ") here is wrong. Our Lord ever refused testimony from devils, for the very reason why they were eager to give it, because He and they would thus seem to be one interest, as His enemies actually alleged. (See on Mat 12:24, &c.; see also Act 16:16-18.)
