Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Vexed - The word "vex" with us means to provoke, or irritate by petty provocations. Here it means, however, to "afflict," to "torment" - denoting deep and heavy trials.
Unclean spirits - Demons that were impure and unholy, having a delight in tormenting, and in inflicting painful and loathsome diseases.

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits,.... Were possessed with devils, and sadly tormented and afflicted by them:
and they were healed: both such that had bodily diseases, and were under diabolical possessions.
