“Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.”
They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem — the specific content of the conversation is unique to Luke: they spoke about his departure (exodon, Exodus — the word is the same). The Exodus is the departure — the cross, resurrection, and ascension as the new Exodus that liberates from the bondage of sin and death. Which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem: the destination is named and the completion is anticipated.
