Easton's Bible Dictionary

Lunatic:

probably the same as epileptic, the symptoms of which disease were supposed to be more aggravated as the moon increased. In Mat 4:24 "lunatics" are distinguished from demoniacs. In Mat 17:15 the name "lunatic" is applied to one who is declared to have been possessed. (See DAEMONIAC.)

For LUNATIC see EPILEPTIC

Daemoniac:

one "possessed with a devil." In the days of our Lord and his apostles, evil spirits, "daemons," were mysteriously permitted by God to exercise an influence both over the souls and bodies of men, inflicting dumbness (Mat 9:32), blindness (12:22), epilepsy (Mar 9:17-27), insanity (Mat 8:28; Mar 5:1-5). Daemoniacs are frequently distinguished from those who are afflicted with ordinary bodily maladies (Mar 1:32; 16:17,18; Luk 6:17,18). The daemons speak in their own persons (Mat 8:29; Mar 1:23,24; 5:7). This influence is clearly distinguished from the ordinary power of corruption and of temptation over men. In the daemoniac his personality seems to be destroyed, and his actions, words, and even thoughts to be overborne by the evil spirit (Mark, l.c.; Act 19:15).
