Exegesis
The verse begins with hos anthropos apodemos {ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἀπόδημος | hôs án-thrō-pos a-pó-dē-mos}, forming a comparative clause that introduces a parabolic analogy: “as a man traveling abroad.” The subject anthropos is modified by the adjective apodemos, characterizing him by his absence.
In context — Mark 13:34
Just like a man traveling abroad, who left his own house and gave authority to his servants, to each his work , and to the doorkeeper he commanded that he should keep watch .
