Meyer on these passages (who urges that ἐκ τούτου used of time denotes the point of departure of a temporal series (Winers Grammar, 367 (344)): from this time on, thenceforth. This argument seems not to be decisive in the second example (John 19:12), for there the verb is in the imperfect. On the use of the phrase in classic Greek see Liddell and Scott, under the word ἐκ, II. 1; Krüger, § 68, 17, 7. Cf. our English upon this, hereupon, in which the temporal sense and the causal often seem to blend. See below, IV. 1 at the end).

III. By Attraction, common in classic Greek (cf. Winers Grammar, § 66, 6; (Buttmann, 377f (323))), two prepositions coalesce as it were into one, so that ἐκ seems to be used for ἐν, thus ἆραι τά ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ concisely for τά ἐν τῇ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτῆς, Matthew 24:17; ὁ πατήρ ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δώσει for ὁ πατήρ ὁ ἐν οὐρανῷ δώσει ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Luke 11:13; τήν ἐκ Λαοδικείας ἀπιστολην for τήν εἰς Λαοδικείας γεγραμμένην καί ἐκ Λαοδικείας κομιστεαν, Colossians 4:16 (2 Macc. 3:18). (To this construction some would refer ἐπιγνούς ἐν ἑαυτῷ τήν ἐξ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν ἐξελθοῦσαν, Mark 5:30, resolving τήν ἐν αὐτῷ δύναμιν ἐξελθοῦσαν ἐξ αὐτοῦ; cf.

It answers to a relative adverb: οὗ τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2 Corinthians 3:17 Rec. ; Matthew 6:21; Matthew 18:20; Matthew 24:28; Mark 6:10; Luke 12:34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adverb or relative pronoun has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Revelation 12:6 G T Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), Revelation 12:14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ); cf. Deuteronomy 4:5, Deuteronomy 4:14, Deuteronomy 4:26; Deuteronomy 1:1-46 Macc. 14:34, and what was said, p. 86^b, 5 on the pronoun αὐτός after a relative.

b. by a negligent use common also in the classics it stands after verbs of motion for ἐκεῖσε, thither: so after ἀπέρχομαι, Matthew 2:22; μεταβαίνω, Matthew 17:20; ὑπάγω, John 11:8; ἔρχομαι, John 18:3; προπέμπομαι, Romans 15:24; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., pp. 43f, 128; Hermann on Sophocles Antig. 515; Trachin. 1006; Buttmann on Philoct. 481; Winers Grammar, § 54, 7; Buttmann, 71 (62) and 378 (324).

ἐκεῖθεν

(1564) ἐκεῖθεν, adverb of place, thence, from that place, [A. V. sometimes from thence]: Matthew 4:21; Mark 6:1; Luke 9:4; John 4:43; Acts 13:4; and often in the historical books of the N. T. οἱ ἐκεῖθεν elliptically for οἱ ἐκεῖθεν διαβῆναι θέλοντες, Luke 16:26 (where L WH omit οἱ).

ἐκεῖνος

(1565) ἐκεῖνος, ἐκείνῃ, ἐκεῖνο (from ἐκεῖ, properly, the one there, cf. German dortig,der dort ), demonstrative pronoun, that man, woman, thing (Latinille ,illa ,illud ); properly of persons, things, times, places somewhat remote from the speaker.

1. used absolutely,

a. in antithesis, referring to the more remote subject: opposed to οὗτος, Luke 18:14; James 4:15; ὑμῖν... ἐκείνοις, Matthew 13:11; Mark 4:11; ἐκεῖνοι... ἡμεῖς, Hebrews 12:25; ἄλλοι... ἄλλοι... ἐκεῖνος, John 9:9; ἐκεῖνον... ἐμέ, John 3:30; οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι... ἐκεῖνος δέ, John 2:20; ὁ μέν κύριος Ἰησοῦς (R G T omit Ἰησοῦς WH Tr marginal reading brackets)... ἐκεῖνοι δέ, Mark 16:19, etc.

b. of noted persons (as in classic Greek): in a bad sense, that notorious man, John 7:11; John 9:28; in a good sense — of the Lord Jesus, 1 John 2:6; 1 John 3:3, 1 John 3:5, 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:17; of the Holy Spirit, with an apposition added, ἐκεῖνος, τό πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας, John 16:13.

c. referring to a noun immediately preceding, he, she, it, (Latinis ,ea ,id , German selbiger): John 7:45; John 5:46; Mark 16:11; Acts 3:13, etc.; cf. Winer s Grammar, § 23, 1; (Buttmann , 104 (91). Here perhaps may be noticed its use together with αὐτός of the same subject in the same sentence: ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπ' αὐτοῦ (i. e. the devil) εἰς τό ἐκείνου θέλημα, 2 Timothy 2:26; cf. Thucydides 1, 132, 6; 4, 29, 3; Xenophon , Cyril 4, 5, 20; see Riddell , the Apology of Plato , Appian , § 49; Kühner, § 467, 12; cf. ζωγρέω 2); equivalent to an emphatic (German er) he, etc., Matthew 17:27; John 1:8; John 5:43; Titus 3:7; equivalent to the forcibly uttered German der (that one etc.), in which sense it serves to recall and lay stress upon nouns just before used (cf. our resumptive the same; Winer 's Grammar, § 23, 4): John 1:18; John 5:39; John 12:48; John 14:26; John 15:26; especially is it thus resumptive of a subject expressed participially (Buttmann , 306 (262f)): Mark 7:15 (T WH omit; Tr brackets the pronoun), Mark 7:20; John 1:33; John 9:37 (ἐκεῖνος ἐστιν, namely, ὁ υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ, see εἰμί , II. 5); John 10:1; John 14:21; Romans 14:14; 2 Corinthians 10:18; (Xenophon , Cyril 6, 2, 33 ὁ γάρ λογχην ἀκονων, ἐκεῖνος καί τήν ψυχήν τί παρακονα).

d. followed by ὅτι, Matthew 24:43; followed by ὅς, John 13:26; Romans 14:15.

2. joined with nouns, and then the noun with the article either precedes, or (somewhat more rarely) follows it (Winer s Grammar, 162 (153)) (Buttmann , 119f (104f));

a. in contrasts: ἡ πρώτη ἐκείνῃ, Hebrews 8:7.

b. used to distinguish accurately from others the things or the persons spoken of, (German selbig): Matthew 7:25, Matthew 7:27; Matthew 10:15; Matthew 18:32; Mark 3:24; Luke 6:48; John 18:15, and often; especially of Time — and of time past: ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, הָהֵם בַּיָמִים, at that time which has been spoken of; said of time which the writer either cannot or will not define more precisely and yet wishes to be connected with the time of the events just narrated: Matthew 3:1; Mark 1:9; Mark 8:1; Luke 2:1 (Exodus 2:11; Judges 18:1; 1 Samuel 28:1); cf. Fritzsche on Matthew, p. 106f; at the time under consideration: Luke 4:2; Luke 9:36; the same phrase is used of time future: Matthew 24:19; Acts 2:18 (from Joel 2:29 (Joel 3:2)); Revelation 9:6; likewise in the singular, ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρα, Luke 17:31; John 16:23, John 16:26. But the solemn phrase ἐκείνῃ ἡ ἡμέρα, or ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνῃ, simply sets future time in opposition to the present, that fateful day, that decisive day, when the Messiah will come to judge: Matthew 7:22; Luke 6:23; Luke 10:12; 2 Thessalonians 1:10; 2 Timothy 1:12, 2 Timothy 1:18; Revelation 16:14 (where L T Tr WH omit ἐκείνης); so in the phrase ὁ αἰών ἐκεῖνος, Luke 20:35.

3. ἐκείνης (in Rec. δἰ ἐκείνης), scil. ὁδοῦ, adverbially, (by) that way: Luke 19:4; Winer s Grammar, § 64, 5; (Buttmann , 171 (149); see ποῖος , at the end). John's use of the pronoun ἐκεῖνος is discussed by Steitz in the Studien und Kritiken for 1859, p. 497ff; 1861, p. 267ff, and by Alex. Buttmann , ibid. 1860, p. 505ff and in Hilgenfeld's Zeitsch. für wissenschaftl. Theol. 1862, p. 204ff; Buttmann clearly proves in opposition to Steitz that John's usage deviates in no respect from the Greek; Steitz, however, resorts to psychological considerations in the case of John 19:35 (regarding ἐκεῖνος there as expressing the writer's inward assurance. But Steitz is now understood to have modified his published views.)

ἐκεῖσε

(1566) ἐκεῖσε, adverb of place, thither, toward that place: Acts 21:3, on which see Winer's Grammar, 349 (328); used for ἐκεῖ in the pregnant construction τοὺς ἐκεῖσε ὄντας, collected there, Acts 22:5 (Acta Thomae § 8); cf. Winer's Grammar, § 54, 7.

Especially is God said ἐκλέξασθαι those whom he has judged fit to receive his favors and separated from the rest of mankind to be peculiarly his own and to be attended continually by his gracious oversight: thus of the Israelites, Acts 13:17 (Deuteronomy 14:2 (cf.

1. chosen by God, and

a. to obtain salvation through Christ (see ἐκλέγω ); hence, Christians are called οἱ ἐκλεκτοί τοῦ Θεοῦ, the chosen or elect of God (cf. Winer 's Grammar, 35 (34); 234 (219)), (יְהוָה בְּחִירֵי, said of pious Israelites Isaiah 65:9, Isaiah 65:15, Isaiah 65:23; Psalm 104:43 (Psalms 105:43), cf.

c.

2. to escape, slip away secretly, ([Pindar Ol. 13, 163]; Euripides, Hipp. 470, etc.); in this sense many interpretations take ἐξένευσε in John 5:13. But Jesus withdrew not to avoid danger but the admiration of the people; for the danger first arose after his withdrawal.

(Numbers 12:12; Ecclesiastes 6:3; Job 3:16; in Greek first used by Aristotle, de gen. an. 4, 5, 4 [p. 773b, 18]; but, as Phrynichus shows, p. 208f, Lob. edition [288f, Rutherford edition], ἄμβλωμα and ἐξάμβλωμα are preferable; [Huxtable in "Expositor" for Apr. 1882, p. 277ff; Bp.

But Fritzsche, Lachmann, Treg. , others have with reason restored [after Erasmus] ἐκφύῇ (2 aorist passive subjunctive), which Griesbach had approved: when the leaves have grown out, — so that τὰ φύλλα is the subject.

Alexander Buttmann (1873) Gram., p. 196 (p. 174 Robinson's translation); Buttmann , 44 (38); (some would make it a 2 aorist, see WH , Appendix, p. 165)); future ἐκχέω (Acts 2:17; Exodus 29:12), for which the earlier Greek used ἐκχεύσω (Winer s Grammar, 77 (74); (cf. 85 (82); especially Buttmann , 68 (60))); 1 aorist ἐξέχεα, 3 person singular ἐξεχη ((whereas the 3 singular of the imperfect is contracted ἐξεχη ἐξεχει, cf. Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 299f); cf. Alexander Buttmann (1873) Gram., p. 196 note (English translation as above the dagger note)), infinitive ἐκχέαι (Romans 3:15; Isaiah 59:7; Ezekiel 9:8); passive (present ἐκχεῖται, Mark 2:22 R G L Tr marginal reading brackets; imperfect 3 person singular ἐξεχεῖτο, Acts 22:20 R G , ἐξεχύννετο L T Tr WH ); perfect ἐκκέχυμαι; 1 aorist ἐξεχύθην; 1 future ἐκχυθήσομαι (see Buttmann , 69f (60f)); (from Homer down); the Sept. for שָׁפַך; to pour out;

a. properly: φιάλην, by metonymy, of the container for the contained, Revelation 16:1-4, Revelation 16:8, Revelation 16:10, Revelation 16:12, Revelation 16:17; of wine, which when the vessel is burst runs out and is lost, Matthew 9:17; Mark 2:22 (R G L Tr marginal reading in brackets); Luke 5:37; used of other things usually guarded with care which are poured forth or cast out: of money, John 2:15; ἐξεχύθη τά σπλάγχνα, of the ruptured body of a man, Acts 1:18 (ἐξεχύθη ἡ κοιλία αὐτοῦ εἰς τήν γῆν, of a man thrust through with a sword, 2 Samuel 20:10). The phrase αἷμα έ᾿κχειν or ἐκχύν῾ν᾿ειν is frequently used of bloodshed: (Matthew 23:35; Luke 11:50; Acts 22:20; Romans 3:15; Revelation 16:6 (where Tdf. αἵματα)); see αἷμα , 2 a.

b. metaphorically, equivalent to to bestow or distribute largely (cf. Fritzsche on Tobit 4:17 and Sir. 1:8): τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον or ἀπό τοῦ πνεύματος, i. e. the abundant bestowal of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:33 from Joel 2:28, Joel 2:29 (Joel 3:1,Joel 3:2); ἐπί τινα, Acts 2:17; Acts 10:45; Titus 3:6; ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκκέχυται ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν διά πνεύματος ἁγίου, the Holy Spirit gives our souls a rich sense of the greatness of God's love for us, Romans 5:5; (ὀργήν, Sir. 33:8 (Sir. 36:8) (cf. Sir. 16:11)). The passive, like the Latin effundor , me effundo , is used of those wire give themselves up to a thing, rush headlong into it, (γέλωτι, Alciphron ; εἰς ἑταίρας, Polybius 32, 11, 4): absolutely τῇ πλάνη τοῦ Βαλαάμ μισθοῦ ἐξεχύθησαν, led astray by the hire of Balaam (i. e. by the same love of reward as Balaam) they gave themselves up, namely, to wickedness, Jude 1:11 (so ἐκχυθῆναι in Aristophanes vesp. 1469 is used absolutely of one giving himself up to joy. The passage in Jude is generally explained thus: "for hire they gave themselves up to (R. V. ran riotously in) the error of Balaam"; cf. Winer 's Grammar, 206 (194) (and De Wette (edited by Brückner) at the passage)).
