Mark 1:24

In Mark 1:24 the following words occur: TI hHMIN KAI
SOI.  An almost identical construction appears in John
2:4 – TI EMOI KAI SOI.  

In John the words are on the lips of Jesus in response
to Mary’s observation that the wine had run out.  I
would take the meaning to be something like “What is
that to us?”.

I am having considerably more difficulty in settling
on a meaning for the phrase in Mark.  There it is not
a response but the opening gambit by the man with the
unclean spirit.  I suppose that phrase has a meaning
that would fit both contexts but I am at a lost to
find it.  Any suggestions?
