Exegesis
The aorist indicative elthes {ἦλθες | ēl-thés} plus infinitive apolesai {ἀπολέσαι | apolés-ai} conveys presumed intent—Jesus as a threat to demonic existence.
In context — Mark 1:24
He said, “What is there between us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? Did You come to destroy us? I know You, who You are—the Holy One of God .”
