A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Saying, Let us alone--or rather, perhaps, "ah!" expressive of mingled astonishment and terror.

what have we to do with thee--an expression of frequent occurrence in the Old Testament (Kg1 17:18; Kg2 3:13; Ch2 35:21, &c.). It denotes entire separation of interests:--that is, "Thou and we have nothing in common; we want not Thee; what wouldst Thou with us?" For the analogous application of it by our Lord to His mother, see on Joh 2:4.

thou Jesus of Nazareth--"Jesus, Nazarene!" an epithet originally given to express contempt, but soon adopted as the current designation by those who held our Lord in honor (Luk 18:37; Mar 16:6; Act 2:22).

art thou come to destroy us?--In the case of the Gadarene demoniac the question was, "Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?" (Mat 8:29). Themselves tormentors and destroyers of their victims, they discern in Jesus their own destined tormentor and destroyer, anticipating and dreading what they know and feel to be awaiting them! Conscious, too, that their power was but permitted and temporary, and perceiving in Him, perhaps, the woman's Seed that was to bruise the head and destroy the works of the devil, they regard His approach to them on this occasion as a signal to let go their grasp of this miserable victim.

I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God--This and other even more glorious testimonies to our Lord were given, as we know, with no good will, but in hope that, by the acceptance of them, He might appear to the people to be in league with evil spirits--a calumny which His enemies were ready enough to throw out against Him. But a Wiser than either was here, who invariably rejected and silenced the testimonies that came to Him from beneath, and thus was able to rebut the imputations of His enemies against Him (Mat 12:24-30). The expression, "Holy One of God," seems evidently taken from that Messianic Psalm (Psa 16:10), in which He is styled "Thine Holy One."

10 For thou wilt not leave [05800] my soul [05315] in hell [07585]; neither wilt thou suffer [05414] thine Holy One [02623] to see [07200] corruption [07845].
24 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] heard [191] it, they said [2036], This [3778] fellow doth [1544] not [3756] cast out [1544] devils [1140], but [1508] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] the prince [758] of the devils [1140].
25 And [1161] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761], and said [2036] unto them [846], Every [3956] kingdom [932] divided [3307] against [2596] itself [1438] is brought to desolation [2049]; and [2532] every [3956] city [4172] or [2228] house [3614] divided [3307] against [2596] itself [1438] shall [2476] not [3756] stand [2476]:
26 And [2532] if [1487] Satan [4567] cast out [1544] Satan [4567], he is divided [3307] against [1909] himself [1438]; how [4459] shall [2476] then [3767] his [846] kingdom [932] stand [2476]?
27 And [2532] if [1487] I [1473] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] cast out [1544] devils [1140], by [1722] whom [5101] do your [5216] children [5207] cast them out [1544]? therefore [5124] [1223] they [846] shall be [2071] your [5216] judges [2923].
28 But [1161] if [1487] I [1473] cast out [1544] devils [1140] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316], then [686] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come [5348] unto [1909] you [5209].
29 Or [2228] else how [4459] can [1410] one [5100] enter [1525] into [1519] a strong man's [2478] house [3614], and [2532] spoil [1283] his [846] goods [4632], except [3362] he first [4412] bind [1210] the strong man [2478]? and [2532] then [5119] he will spoil [1283] his [846] house [3614].
30 He that is [5607] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] is [2076] against [2596] me [1700]; and [2532] he that gathereth [4863] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] scattereth abroad [4650].
29 And [2532], behold [2400], they cried out [2896], saying [3004], What [5101] have we [2254] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316]? art thou come [2064] hither [5602] to torment [928] us [2248] before [4253] the time [2540]?
22 Ye men [435] of Israel [2475], hear [191] these [5128] words [3056]; Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], a man [435] approved [584] of [575] God [2316] among [1519] you [5209] by miracles [1411] and [2532] wonders [5059] and [2532] signs [4592], which [3739] God [2316] did [4160] by [1223] him [846] in [1722] the midst [3319] of you [5216], as [2531] ye yourselves [846] also [2532] know [1492]:
6 And [1161] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Be [1568] not [3361] affrighted [1568]: Ye seek [2212] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3479], which [3588] was crucified [4717]: he is risen [1453]; he is [2076] not [3756] here [5602]: behold [2396] the place [5117] where [3699] they laid [5087] him [846].
37 And [1161] they told [518] him [846], that [3754] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480] passeth by [3928].
4 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Woman [1135], what [5101] have I [1698] to do with [2532] thee [4671]? mine [3450] hour [5610] is [2240] not yet [3768] come [2240].
21 But he sent [07971] ambassadors [04397] to him, saying [0559], What have I to do with thee, thou king [04428] of Judah [03063]? I come not against thee this day [03117], but against the house [01004] wherewith I have war [04421]: for God [0430] commanded [0559] me to make haste [0926]: forbear [02308] thee from meddling with God [0430], who is with me, that he destroy [07843] thee not.
13 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], What have I to do with thee? get [03212] thee to the prophets [05030] of thy father [01], and to the prophets [05030] of thy mother [0517]. And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, Nay: for the LORD [03068] hath called [07121] these three [07969] kings [04428] together [07121], to deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Moab [04124].
