Exegesis
The object of this giving, exousian {ἐξουσίαν | ex-ou-sí-an} “authority,” is further defined by the double genitive phrase pneumaton ton akatharton {πνευμάτων τῶν ἀκαθάρτων | pneu-má-tōn tôn a-ka-thár-tōn} “of the unclean spirits,” where the attributive article with akatharton tightens the unit “the spirits that are unclean.” In English, the aspectual nuances are represented by “began sending” for the inceptive force of erxato with the infinitive, and “was giving” for the imperfect edidou, while “two by two” and “over the unclean spirits” preserve the distributive mission pattern and the specific domain of delegated authority.
Root and etymology
pneopi–nu–epsilon–omega
“to breathe, blow”
In context — Mark 6:7
And He summoned the twelve to Himself and began sending them out two by two, granting them authority over the unclean spirits.
