‏ Luke 4:34

 Ah! ( Εα ). An interjection frequent in the Attic poets, but rare in prose. Apparently second person singular imperative of  εαω, to permit. It is expressive of wonder, fear, indignation. Here it amounts to a diabolical screech. For the rest of the verse see discussion on Mr 1:24 and Mt 8:29. The muzzle ( φιμος ) occurs literally in 1Co 9:9, 1Ti 5:18, and metaphorically here and Mr 1:25; 4:39; Mt 22:12.
