b. without mention of the place from which one goes out; α. where the place from which one goes forth (as a house, city, ship) has just been mentioned: Matthew (Matthew 8:12 Tdf.); f (from the house, Matthew 9:28); Matthew 10:11 (namely, ἐκεῖθεν, i. e. ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἤ κώμης ἐκείνης); Matthew 12:14 (cf.

Agreeably to the oriental redundancy of style in description (see ἀνίστημι, II. 1 c.), the participle ἐξελθών is often placed before another finite verb of departure: Matthew 8:32; Matthew 15:21; Matthew 24:1 (ἐξελθών (from the temple, see ) ἐπορεύετο ἀπό τοῦ ἱεροῦ, he departed from its vicinity); Mark 16:8; Luke 22:39; Acts 12:9, 17; Acts 16:36, 40; Acts 21:5, 8.

On the phrase ἐισέρχεσθαι καί ἐξέρχεσθαι see in εἰσέρχομαι, 1 a. (Compare: διεξέρχομαι.)
