Vincent's NT Word Studies
27. Spoil (diarpasai). Mark uses the stronger and more vivid compound verb, where Matthew employs the simple aJrpasai. The verb means, primarily, to tear in pieces; to carry away, as the wind; to efface, as footsteps. So, generally, to seize as plunder, snatching right and left.His goods (ta skeuh). Lit., his vessels. So Wyc. Compare Mark x. 16; Acts ix. 15; x. 11; 2 Tim. ii. 20. The special object of the robber may be precious vessels of gold or silver; but the word is probably used in its general sense of household gear.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
3:27 {Spoil} (diarpasai). Plunder, compound verb, thoroughly ransack. Picture of Satan plundering the demons, the very tools (skeue) by which he carried on his business. A _reductio ad absurdum_. Jesus is the conqueror of Satan, not in league with him.
