Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in the synagogue there was a man,.... That is, in the synagogue at Capernaum, as Christ was there teaching, on one of the sabbath days before mentioned; there was a certain man,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this explained in the notes at Mark 1:21-39.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. A spirit of an unclean devil — As demon was used both in a good and bad sense before and after the time of the evangelists the word unclean may have been added here by St. Luke, merely to express the quality of this spirit. But it is worthy of remark, that the inspired writers never use the word δαιμÏν, demon, in a good sense. See the whole of this case explained, Mark 1:23, &c.
