Daemoniac: One "possessed with a devil." In the days of our Lord and his
apostles, evil spirits, "daemons," were mysteriously permitted by God
to exercise an influence both over the souls and bodies of men,
inflicting dumbness
(Matthew 9:32) blindness
(Matthew 12:22) epilepsy
(Mark 9:17-27) insanity
(Matthew 8:28; Mark 5:1-5) Daemoniacs are
frequently distinguished from those who are afflicted with ordinary
bodily maladies
(Mark 1:32)
(Mark 16:17,18; Luke 6:17,18) The daemons
speak in their own persons
(Matthew 8:29; Mark 1:23,24; 5:7) This influence
is clearly distinguished from the ordinary power of corruption and of
temptation over men. In the daemoniac his personality seems to be
destroyed, and his actions, words, and even thoughts to be overborne by
the evil spirit
(Acts 19:15)
