Exegesis
The main verb epeinasen {ἐπείνασεν | e-peí-na-sen} stands in the aorist indicative as a simple past event, with an implied subject understood from context as Jesus; its position at the end gives focus to His physical hunger, underlining His real humanity. In English, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“when they had gone out”), and the temporal dative is expressed with the preposition “on” (“on the next day”) to preserve the sequence and clarity of the Greek structure.
In context — Mark 11:12
And on the next day, when they had gone out from Bethany, He was hungry .
