Luke 4:33-37

JMNT(i) 33 Further, in – and as a part of – the synagogue there was a man (or: person) continuously having and holding a breath-effect (spirit; attitude) of an unclean demon (Hellenistic concept and term: = a culturally unpruned animistic influence), and he uttered up (or: cried out) with a loud voice, 34 "Ah! (or: Ha!) What [is this] for us... and for You (or: What [business is there] between us and You; What [is there in common] for us and for you; Why do you meddle with us), Jesus, you Nazarene? You came to get rid of us! (or: Do you come to destroy us?) I have seen and know You... Who (or: What) you are! – God's set-apart One! (or: the Holy man whose source is God; as a genitive of apposition: the Holy One {or: man} Who is God!)" [comment: it has been assumed that when saying "us" this person was referring to the animistic influence; but was he perhaps referring to the Jewish culture, religion and political entity, of which he was a part? Cf Acts 16:16-18] 35 So Jesus gave a respectful directive (or: spoke a value-based command) to it, saying, "Be at once muzzled (= Be quiet, or, silent) and go (or: come) out – away from him." Then, after pitching (or: convulsing) him into [their] midst, the demon (= animistic influence) went out – away from him – [in] nothing hurting or harming him. 36 And so there came to be amazement (wonder, astonishment or bewilderment) upon everyone, and they began conversing together, repeatedly saying to one another, "What word (or: message; idea) [is] this? – that in authority and power (or: in union with privilege, or, prerogative, and ability) He is now giving orders to the unclean breath-effects (spirits; or: attitudes), and they proceed coming out!" [comment: note that the people equate the concept of a "demon" with that of a spirit, or attitude] 37 So a reverberating noise (= an echoing report, or, rumor) began proceeding forth concerning Him – into every place of the surrounding region.
