Second aorist active participle. Only in Luke. Surely we are not to take Luke to mean that Jesus here took the exorcist‘s position and was rebuking a malignant personality. The attitude of Jesus is precisely that of any kindly sympathetic physician. Mark 1:31; Matthew 8:15 mention the touch of her hand rather than the tender look over her head. [source]
