Study note
Setting — Jesus and His disciples leave Jerusalem when evening arrives, following the chief priests and scribes' search for a way to kill Him.
The words — ὀψὲ (opse) denotes the time of evening, and ἐξεπορεύοντο (exeporeuonto) describes the continuous action of them going out.
The thread — Luke 21:37 records His regular pattern of teaching in the temple by day and departing for the Mount of Olives at evening. Mark 11:11 notes Jesus leaving the temple courts when evening had already come.
Why it lands — The text establishes a clear temporal and geographical shift as Jesus withdraws from the city at dusk. It requires the reader to follow the narrative chronology and note the physical distance growing between Jesus and His opponents.
