EXPLANATION

Verse 34. The devils knew that it was Christ, who had been promised for so many ages before; for they saw him perform the wonders which the prophets had foretold of him; yet they were not perfectly acquainted with his divine nature, or otherwise they never would have persecuted to death and crucified the Lord of glory. Saint Augustine—But Christ would not permit them to declare that they knew him. V.—See Luke 4:41.
