>>This discussion is being carried over from a thread initiated in the
>B-Greek
>>forum (original thread: Re: Is it a question or not), and concerns whether
>>the demonized man of Mk 1.24 refers to 'himself + demon' or 'himself +
>>crowd' when he speaks as "us". At this point the discussion is moving
>>towards the larger function of this passage in Mark
>I find the attribution of hUMIN (v. 24a) to include the people of Capernaum
>(demon + crowd) an interesting hermeneutical maneuver, as it does seem to
>explain the vocative address to "Jesus of Nazareth." But what do you do
>with the content of the outburst (i.e., "have you come to destroy us?"),
for
>it follows Jesus' teaching session which, as far as we know, posses no
>apparent threat to the people of Capernaum? Moreover, the tone of this
>outburst is very consistent with what demons say elsewhere. I apologize if
>this hiccup was already addressed on B-Greek.

>One further query: has anyone thought it peculiar that the demon is
>portrayed as "SUDDENLY appearing in THEIR [versus 'the'] synagogue?"
