Exegesis
Two aorist participles, apheis {ἀφεὶς | a-pheís} “having left” and dous {δοὺς | doùs} “having given,” function adverbially, describing prior actions that set the scene for the main finite verb eneteilato {ἐνετείλατο | e-ne-teí-la-to} “he commanded.”
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 .
