Exegesis
The genitive absolute construction opsias genomenes {ὀψίας γενομένης | opsías genoménēs} functions as a temporal clause, literally “of evening having come,” which is idiomatically rendered as “when evening had come” or “when it was evening.” This construction is syntactically independent of the main clause but temporally frames it.
In context — Mark 14:17
And when evening had come, He came with the twelve.
