11. See crit. note. As often, the unclean spirits and those whom they obsess are spoken of interchangeably. It was the demoniacs who fell down before Him, whensoever they beheld Him (R.V.); it was the demons who recognized Him as the Son of God. Indefinite repetition in the past is expressed by ὅταν c. imperf. indic.; so also ὅπου ἄν (Mark 6:56): also with the less intelligible aor.; ὅσοι ἄν (Mark 6:56) and ὅταν (Mark 11:19). Blass, § 63. 7; Burton, § 290, 315. Syr-Sin. condenses; “and they who had plagues of unclean spirits upon them fell down before them.” The contrast between ἐπιπίπτειν and προσέπιπτον is perhaps accidental. Cf. the Philippian jailor (Acts 16:29) and Cornelius (Acts 10:25; also Psalms 95:6).

ἔκραζον. The separate instances are thought of throughout, and hence the plurals: cf. Luke 24:11; John 19:31 : and the separate instances are thought of because of the nature of the cry. “The earliest confession of the Sonship seems to have come from evil spirits, who knew Jesus better than He was known by His own disciples” (Swete).
