Exegesis

The correlative construction ta te pneumata ta ponēra {τά τε πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ | tá te pnéu-ma-ta tá po-nē-rá} uses te with repeated ta to coordinate the spirits, the evil ones as a second result, governed by ekporeuesthai {ἐκπορεύεσθαι | ek-po-reú-es-thai} to go out. Thus the syntax binds physical healing and spiritual deliverance into a single result of indirect contact with Paul’s body, which the translation mirrors by retaining parallel clauses.
