{Fell down} (prosepesen). Second aorist active of
prospipt(935c), to fall forward, towards, prostrate before one as
here. Common verb. Mr 5:6 has prosekun(8873)en (worshipped). {The
Most High God} ( ou theou tou hupsistou). Uncertain whether
ou theou genuine or not. But "the Most High" clearly means God
as already seen ( Lu 1:32,35,36 6:35 ). The phrase is common
among heathen ( Nu 24:16 Mic 6:6 Isa 14:14 ). The demoniac may
have been a Gentile, but it is the demon here speaking. See on
烘r 2:7; Mt 8:29| for the Greek idiom ( i emoi kai soi). "What
have I to do with thee?" See there also for "Torment me not."
