Phillips adds this anecdotal note… I remember as a boy its being said that people in asylums behaved more irrationally during a full moon.) In an interesting NT passage Matthew records that as the news about Jesus went out into all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, taken with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them. (Mt 4:24) The word translated "epileptic" is a Greek verb which literally means to be moonstruck and in Greek usage was equivalent to being afflicted with epilepsy, the symptoms of which were thought to become more aggravated during certain lunar periods.
