A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
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.)

16 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], as we [2257] went [4198] to [1519] prayer [4335], a certain [5100] damsel [3814] possessed [2192] with a spirit [4151] of divination [4436] met [528] us [2254], which [3748] brought [3930] her [846] masters [2962] much [4183] gain [2039] by soothsaying [3132]:
17 The same [3778] followed [2628] Paul [3972] and [2532] us [2254], and cried [2896], saying [3004], These [3778] men [444] are [1526] the servants [1401] of the most high [5310] God [2316], which [3748] shew [2605] unto us [2254] the way [3598] of salvation [4991].
18 And [1161] this [5124] did she [4160] [1909] many [4183] days [2250]. But [1161] Paul [3972], being grieved [1278], turned [1994] and [2532] said [2036] to the spirit [4151], I command [3853] thee [4671] in [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] to come [1831] out of [575] her [846]. And [2532] he came out [1831] the same [846] hour [5610].
24 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] heard [191] it, they said [2036], This [3778] fellow doth [1544] not [3756] cast out [1544] devils [1140], but [1508] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] the prince [758] of the devils [1140].
38 And [1161] he arose [450] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], and entered [1525] into [1519] Simon's [4613] house [3614]. And [1161] Simon's [4613] wife's mother [3994] was [2258] taken with [4912] a great [3173] fever [4446]; and [2532] they besought [2065] him [846] for [4012] her [846].
39 And [2532] he stood [2186] over [1883] her [846], and rebuked [2008] the fever [4446]; and [2532] it left [863] her [846]: and immediately [3916] she arose [450] and [1161] ministered [1247] unto them [846].
40 Now [1161] when the sun [2246] was setting [1416], all [3956] they that [3745] had [2192] any sick [770] with divers [4164] diseases [3554] brought [71] them [846] unto [4314] him [846]; and [1161] he laid [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] every [1538] one [1520] of them [846], and healed [2323] them [846].
41 And [1161] devils [1140] also [2532] came [1831] out of [575] many [4183], crying out [2896], and [2532] saying [3004], [3754] Thou [4771] art [1488] Christ [5547] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. And [2532] he rebuking [2008] them suffered [1439] them [846] not [3756] to speak [2980]: for [3754] they knew [1492] that he [846] was [1511] Christ [5547].
6 And [2532] saying [3004], Lord [2962], my [3450] servant [3816] lieth [906] at [1722] home [3614] sick of the palsy [3885], grievously [1171] tormented [928].
1 And [2532] when he had called [4341] unto him his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he gave [1325] them [846] power [1849] against unclean [169] spirits [4151], to [5620] cast [1544] them [846] out [1544], and [2532] to heal [2323] all manner [3956] of sickness [3554] and [2532] all manner [3956] of disease [3119].
35 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went about [4013] all [3956] the cities [4172] and [2532] villages [2968], teaching [1321] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864], and [2532] preaching [2784] the gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932], and [2532] healing [2323] every [3956] sickness [3554] and [2532] every [3956] disease [3119] among [1722] the people [2992].
23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went about [4013] all [3650] Galilee [1056], teaching [1321] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864], and [2532] preaching [2784] the gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932], and [2532] healing [2323] all [3956] manner of sickness [3554] and [2532] all [3956] manner of disease [3119] among [1722] the people [2992].
