2 THE MEDICAL LANGUAGE OF ST. LUKE. [part i.<br />

§ n.<br />

* piTTTHv. /BAoTrretv.<br />

Healing of the demoniac in the synagogue of Capernaum.—<br />

Luke, iv. 35 : And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy<br />

peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown<br />

him in the midst {pixpav), he came out of him, and hurt him<br />

not {firjdev (3Xd^av avTov).<br />

St. Luke here uses two medical words, piTTTstv and (Skair-<br />

TeLv : the former was used in medical language of convulsive<br />

fits and similar affections ; the latter to denote the injury<br />

done to the system by disease, &c. Besides using these appropriate<br />

words, he alone records the fact that no permanent<br />

bodily injury was done to the man, and in doing this he<br />

writes quite in the manner and style of the medical authors.<br />

* piTTTEiv is used in connexion with disease in the N. T. by<br />

St. Luke alone. Hippocrates, Epid. 1160 : koI aXyr^dovi jueya-<br />
