Exegesis
The shift to the present indicative epitassei {ἐπιτάσσει | e-pi-TAS-sei} “he commands” and hypakouousin {ὑπακούουσιν | hu-pa-KOU-ou-sin} “they obey” portrays Jesus’s authoritative action as vivid and ongoing.
In context — Mark 1:27
And all were amazed, so that they began to question among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him .”
