Gill's Notes on the Bible
For unclean spirits,.... Devils, so called because they were unclean themselves, defiled others, add delighted in impure persons and places; :-
crying with loud voice; showing their unwillingness to remove, and the irresistibleness of divine power they could not withstand:
came out of many that were possessed with them; who had for a long time dwelt in them, and had greatly afflicted them:
and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed; by Philip, in the name of Christ, through a word speaking, or by touching them, without making use of any means or medicines.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For unclean spirits - See the notes on Matthew 4:24.
Crying with loud voice - See the notes on Mark 1:26.
Palsies - See the notes on Matthew 4:24.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 8:7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed — Hence it is evident that these unclean spirits were not a species of diseases; as they are here distinguished from the paralytic and the lame. There is nothing more certain than that the New Testament writers mean real diabolic possessions by the terms unclean spirits, devils, &c., which they use. It is absolute trifling to deny it. If we, in our superior sagacity can show that they were mistaken, that is quite a different matter!
