And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. The formula marks the end of an excerpt from the discourses. It is, however, to be noticed that the first and last words, καὶ … ἐκεῖθεν, come in Mark 6:1, introducing the parallel passage to our following verses.
