Notes

Luke 4:34

Have you come to destroy us?: Although there was only one demon present, the use of us suggests that all of Satan’s forces knew about and were fearful of the coming of Jesus.
I know who You are: In ancient times, people believed that naming a spiritual power gave them control over it. The demon might have been trying to gain power over Jesus.
