Exegesis
The phrase en pneumati akathartō {ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ | en pneú-ma-ti a-ka-thár-tō} uses en with the dative to characterize his state as under an unclean spirit. Greek word order clusters the temporal and locative elements near the verb, reflected in the translations by placing “at once” and “from the tombs” close to “came toward” in the formal rendering and “came out … to meet” in the dynamic version, thereby sustaining narrative immediacy and highlighting ritual impurity.
Root and etymology
Rootpro-sky-neō
“to bow down to, worship”
In context — Mark 5:2
When He stepped out of the boat, at once a man came toward Him from the tombs with an unclean spirit .
