{She did} (epoiei). Imperfect active, kept it up for many
days. The strange conduct gave Paul and the rest an unpleasant
prominence in the community. {Being sore troubled}
(diapon(8874)heis). First aorist passive of diapone(935c), old verb,
to work laboriously, then in passive to be "worked up,"
displeased, worn out. In the N.T. only here and 4:2 which see
(there of the Sadducees about Peter's preaching). Paul was
grieved, annoyed, indignant. He wanted no testimony from a source
like this any more than he did the homage of the people of Lystra
( 14:14 ). {That very hour} (aut(8869) t(8869) h(9372)(8369)). Locative case of
time and familiar Lukan idiom in his Gospel, "at the hour
itself." The cure was instantaneous. Paul, like Jesus,
distinguished between the demon and the individual.
