Exegesis
The infinitive apopheresthai {ἀποφέρεσθαι | apo-phé-res-thai} functions as a complementary infinitive, describing the action of items being carried away.
The source of these items is given by the prepositional phrase apo tou chrotos autou {ἀπὸ τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ | apó toû khrō-tós au-toû}, where the genitive after apo marks separation from his skin, highlighting direct bodily contact.
A second infinitive, apallassesthai {ἀπαλλάσσεσθαι | a-pal-lás-se-sthai}, parallels apopheresthai and introduces the result on the recipients: to be freed from them the diseases, where ap’ autōn {ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν | ap au-tôn} refers back to the cloths.
