{Whensoever they beheld him} (hotan auton ethe(9372)oun).
Imperfect indicative with hotan of repeated action. They kept
falling down before him (prosepipton) and crying, (ekrazon)
and he kept charging or rebuking (epitim(835c)) them, all
imperfects. The unclean spirits (demons) recognize Jesus as the
Son of God, as before. Jesus charged them not to make him known
as he had also done before. He did not wish this testimony. It
was a most exciting ordeal and is given only by Mark. Note
non-final use of hina.
