Read in KJV Bible Reader

For unclean spirits,.... Devils, so called because they were unclean themselves, defiled others, add delighted in impure persons and places; [See comments on Matthew 10:1]

crying with loud voice; showing their unwillingness to remove, and the irresistibleness of divine power they could not withstand:

came out of many that were possessed with them; who had for a long time dwelt in them, and had greatly afflicted them:

and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed; by Philip, in the name of Christ, through a word speaking, or by touching them, without making use of any means or medicines.
