Departing after concluding speech · dominant
In Matthew 13:53, μετῆρεν follows the completion of the parables; the APB renders the clause "that he departed from there." In Matthew 19:1, the same form follows the completion of Jesus' words, and the APB renders his departure from Galilee and arrival in Judea beyond the Jordan.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both occurrences with "departed" in clauses following completed speech, though it is a whole-verse translation.
