Commentary on Mark 5:8
Mark explains the demon's plea: 'For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.' Jesus was already commanding exorcism when demon pleaded. The command 'Come out' (Ἔξελθε) is direct, authoritative. 'Unclean spirit' (πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον) emphasizes moral corruption and ritual defilement. Jesus required no elaborate ritual, lengthy ceremony, or magical formula—simple word sufficed. This demonstrates inherent authority. The demons' pleading shows they must obey but resist, seeking delay or negotiation. Jesus' word compels obedience; demons cannot resist Creator's command.
