Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Mark 1:32

"And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons." — Mark 1:32 (ASV)

The following day (since Sabbath ends at sundown), people could now bring, without breaking the law, their sick and demon-possessed to him. The exorcism of v.26 and the healing of v.31 were not isolated cases. Jesus extended his healing power to large numbers.

Again Jesus muzzled the demons, “because they knew who he was” (cf. Lk 4:46). His reluctance to have the demons reveal him as the Messiah is best explained by his desire to show by word and deed what kind of Messiah he was before he openly declared himself as the Messiah.
