{By the finger of God} (en daktul(9369) theou). In
distinction from the Jewish exorcists.  Mt 12:28  has "by the
Spirit of God." {Then is come} (ara ephthasen). Phthan(935c) in
late Greek comes to mean simply to come, not to come before. The
aorist indicative tense here is timeless. Note ara
(accordingly) in the conclusion (apodosis).
