1. Mark 3:11 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What kind of a cry is this?

Mark 3:11 (ESV)

11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

This acknowledgement is not a confession implying a call for help. They acknowledge the reality of the coming of the Son of God and they fear (James 2:19–20); but they remain unclean and averse to doing good works.1
