What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Jesus I know, and Paul I know." For, that there may not seem to be any slight put upon the Name of Jesus, the demon first confesses Him, and then has permission given him. For, to show that it was not any weakness of the Name, but all owing to the imposture of those men, why did not the same take place in the case of Paul? "They fled out of that house naked and wounded": he sorely battered their heads, perhaps rent their garments. "Jesus," says he, "I know," etc. Be ashamed, ye that are ignorant of Him. …
Western Saints
Bede
Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize. About this verse, Arator says, Know your madness, enemy race, the demon admits to reigning, Whom you deny has come, and you are convicted by this very fact, By the one who drives you to ruin.
