<p>1:25 <em>And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold your peace and come out of him</em>- If as suggested on :24, the man had multiple personalities, the Lord is rebuking the less dominant personality. He speaks of course in terms which the man would have related to- of demon possession. The language of &quot;rebuke&quot; is appropriate to rebuking a personality; for one could hardly &quot;rebuke&quot; a person for being mentally disturbed. That is not a moral issue.</p>
