Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek ton tessaron anemon {ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων | ek tôn tes-sá-rōn a-né-mōn} ‘from the four winds’ uses the genitive after ek to express origin or source and functions idiomatically for the four cardinal directions, emphasizing worldwide scope.
In context — Mark 13:27
And then He will send the angels, and He will gather together the chosen ones from the four winds , from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
