Mk 1:21c ... entering into the Synagogue he-was-teaching.

The third phrase has these 5 narrator words ... eiselthōn eis tēn sunagōgēn edidasken (entering into the Synagogue he was teaching).

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The four words "eiselthōn eis tēn sunagōgēn" (entering into the synagogue) are tangent to the Jewish congregation, the disciples who are also Jews sit in the back. The verb "edidasken" (he was teaching) is only tangent to Jesus. This verse foreshadows the way Jesus taught. He taught his disciples privately but to the ones "outside" he only taught in parables so that they could not fully understand what he said (Mk 4:10-12). It looks like we are entering into a parable.
