Exegesis
The adverb houtōs {οὕτως | hoú-tos} summarizes the manner of events just described and directly introduces the main verb exēlthen, which draws the episode to a close. In English, the sequence of aorist participles is best rendered with past perfect or simple past clauses preceding the main verb to preserve both the temporal ordering and the cumulative sense of the narrative.
In context — Acts 20:11
And when he had gone up and had broken the bread , and had eaten, he spoke for a considerable time , until daybreak; thus he departed.
