Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase apo ton poleon {ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων | apó tôn póleōn} ‘from the cities’ indicates their origin, implying a widespread response. In translation, temporal participles are rendered as ‘when’ clauses and modifiers are reordered to natural English while preserving emphasis on Jesus’ withdrawal and the crowds’ pursuit.
In context — Matthew 14:13
But when Jesus heard this, He left that area by boat and went to an uninhabited place to be by Himself; yet when the crowds heard, they pursued Him by land from the cities .
