Exegesis
The aorist participle apheis {ἀφεὶς | a-pheìs} precedes the main verb elthen {ἦλθεν | êl-then} and forms a circumstantial participial construction, indicating an action (“having sent away”) completed prior to “he went.”
In context — Matthew 13:36
Then, after He had sent the crowds away, He went into the house, and His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
