Exegesis
The aorist middle indicative ērxanto {ἤρξαντο | ḗrxanto} ‘they began’ governs two infinitives, parakalein {παρακαλεῖν | parakaleîn} ‘to urge’ and apelthein {ἀπελθεῖν | apeltheîn} ‘to depart,’ forming a complementary infinitive construction that expresses an initiated request.
In context — Mark 5:17
And they began to urge Him to depart from their region .
