Exegesis
Within this clause, the adverb opse {ὀψὲ | opsè} narrows the time to “late” or “evening,” and the intransitive aorist verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | egéneto} serves as a background-setting verb, “it came to be,” a common narrative way of signaling a change in circumstances.
In context — Mark 11:19
And when evening came, they went out of the city .
