‏ Luke 4:35

 Had thrown him down in the midst ( ριψαν αυτον εις το μεσον ). First aorist (effective) participle of  ριπτω, an old verb with violent meaning, to fling, throw, hurl off or down.

 Having done him no hurt ( μηδεν βλαψαν αυτον ). Luke as a physician carefully notes this important detail not in Mark.  Βλαπτω, to injure, or hurt, occurs in the N.T. only here and in Mr 16:18, though a very common verb in the old Greek.
