Exegesis
The aorist verb anechoresen {ἀνεχώρησεν | anekhṓrēsen} ‘withdrew’ portrays a decisive, completed move away from a previous location, directed pros ten thalassan {πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν | pròs tḗn thálassan} ‘toward the sea’, a common setting for subsequent ministry activity.
In context — Mark 3:7
And Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, and a great crowd from Galilee and also from Judea followed Him.
