Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros auton {πρὸς αὐτόν | pròs autón} ‘to Him’ provides the climactic directional focus, with the word order placing the extensive geographical list before the subject to highlight the remarkable scope of those drawn to Jesus.
In context — Mark 3:8
And from Jerusalem and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude , hearing all that He was doing, came to Him.
