Exegesis
The verse begins with the participle exelthousai {ἐξελθοῦσαι | exelthoûsai} modifying the implied subjects and setting a temporal stage for the aorist verb ephygon {ἔφυγον | éphygon} “they fled.”
In context — Mark 16:8
And having gone out, they fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. But all the things that had been commanded, they reported briefly to those around Peter; and after these things, Jesus Himself sent out, through them, the holy and imperishable proclamation of the eternal salvation, from east to west. Amen.
