Exegesis
The main verb apelthon {ἀπῆλθον | apêlthon} concludes the sentence, governing the prepositional phrase opiso autou {ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ | opísō autoû}, which idiomatically expresses following after someone. The Greek word order moves from Jesus’ immediate call to the disciples’ decisive abandonment and subsequent movement after Him, shaping discipleship as prompt, costly, and directional.
In context — Mark 1:20
And immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
