Exegesis
The final participial clause kai katalipōn autous apēlthen {καὶ καταλιπὼν αὐτοὺς ἀπῆλθεν | kaí katalipṓn autoús apêlthen} combines an aorist participle with an aorist finite verb, indicating that the departure follows the act of leaving them. The translation renders the continuous present with a progressive phrase in formal and conveys sequential action in both reconstructions.

In context — Matthew 16:4
