Matthew 9:33

Greek ἐκβληθέντος τοῦ δαιμονίου. "τοῦ δαιμονίου" the demonic influence/power is in the genitive case meaning "of the demonic influence."

The Greek ἐκβληθέντος is the aorist passive participle, genitive singular (masculine/neuter) of ἐκβάλλω (“to cast out, throw out, expel”). Its literal sense is “having been cast out” or “after being expelled.”

• “after being cast out of [X]”

• “having been expelled from [X]”

• “by reason of having been expelled from [X]”

The genitive can indicate:
