Exegesis
The genitive phrase tes poleos {τῆς πόλεως | tês póleōs} is governed by this adverbial idea of movement “outside of,” indicating the point of origin from which they departed. In English, the temporal clause is rendered smoothly as “when evening came,” and the imperfect is translated with a simple past (“went out,” “left”) to maintain clear narrative flow, while the combination of exo and the genitive “of the city” is expressed as movement “out of the city” or “outside” to preserve the spatial nuance.
Root and etymology
polispi–omicron–lambda–iota–sigma
“city, urban center”
In context — Mark 11:19
And when evening came, they went out of the city .
