Exegesis
The main clause begins with eidon autous hypagontas {εἶδον αὐτοὺς ὑπάγοντας | eî-don au-toûs hy-pá-gon-tas} “they saw them going away,” where the present participle hypagontas functions as a supplementary participle describing the manner of what was seen.
The deictic adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} “there” marks the destination, while the final aorist proēlthon autous {προῆλθον αὐτούς | pro-ēl-thon au-toús} “they went before them” expresses result: the crowd not only gathers but actually arrives ahead of the ones first seen departing. In translation, the sequence of aorists is rendered with simple past verbs to convey decisive actions, and the fronted phrase “on foot from all the cities” is kept closely tied to “ran together” to preserve the picture of coordinated, determined movement.
In context — Mark 6:33
And they saw them leaving, and many recognized them, and on foot from all the cities they ran together there and went ahead of them.
