Exegesis
In that clause, to pneuma Iesou {τὸ πνεῦμα Ἰησοῦ | tó pnéu-ma Iē-soû} serves as the nominative subject, with the genitive Iesou marking its association with Jesus, and autous {αὐτοὺς | au-toús} as the direct object of prohibition. This structure highlights the contrast between human initiative and divine direction.
