Exegesis
The main narrative actions are expressed with two sequential aorist verbs: meteren apo tes Galilaias {μετῆρεν ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας | metḗren apó tēs Galilaías}, describing His departure from Galilee, and elthen eis ta horia tes Ioudaias {ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας | ḗlthen eis tá hória tēs Ioudaías}, describing His arrival into the borders or region of Judea.
In context — Matthew 19:1
And it happened, when Jesus had finished these words, He moved away from Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
