Exegesis
The coordinating particle kai {καὶ | kaì} links this verse tightly to the preceding exorcism narrative, while the aorist passive verb ethambēthēsan {ἐθαμβήθησαν | e-tham-BE-the-san} places the crowd’s astonishment as the main narrative event.
The repeated kai {καὶ | kaì} before both the dative phrase and the finite verb hypakouousin highlights the link between command and obedience, underscoring that the same authoritative word both addresses and subdues hostile spiritual powers.
