‏ Luke 4:33

 Which had ( εχων ). Mark has  εν.

 A spirit of an unclean demon ( πνευμα δαιμονιου ακαθαρτου ). Mark has "unclean spirit." Luke's phrase here is unique in this combination. Plummer notes that Matthew has  δαιμονιον ten times and  ακαθαρτον twice as an epithet of  πνευμα; Mark has  δαιμονιον thirteen times and  ακαθαρτον eleven times as an epithet of  πνευμα. Luke's Gospel uses  δαιμονιον twenty-two times and  ακαθαρτον as an epithet, once of  δαιμονιον as here and once of  πνευμα. In Mark the man is in ( εν ) the power of the unclean spirit, while here the man "has" a spirit of an unclean demon.

 With a loud voice ( φωνη μεγαλη ). Not in Mark. Really a scream caused by the sudden contact of the demon with Jesus.
