Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἐκεῖ, adverb of place, there;
a. properly: Mat 2:13; Mat 2:15; Mat 5:24, and frequent. In Luk 13:28; ἐκεῖ is not used for ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ followed by ὅταν (at that time ... when etc.), but means in that place whither ye have been banished; cf. Meyer at the passage οἱ ἐκεῖ, namely, ὄντες, standing there, Mat 26:71 (Tr marginal reading αὐτοί ἐκεῖ). It answers to a relative adverb: οὗ τό πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2Co 3:17 Rec.; Mat 6:21; Mat 18:20; Mat 24:28; Mar 6:10; Luk 12:34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adverb or relative pronoun has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Rev 12:6 G T Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), Rev 12:14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ); cf. Deu 4:5; Deu 4:14; Deu 4:26; 1Ma 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, Mat 2:22; μεταβαίνω, Mat 17:20; ὑπάγω, Joh 11:8; ἔρχομαι, Joh 18:3; προπέμπομαι, Rom 15:24; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., pp. 43f, 128; Hermann on Sophocles Antig. 515; Trachin. 1006; Alexander Buttmann (1873) on Philoct. 481; Winers Grammar, § 54, 7; Buttmann, 71 (62) and 378 (324).
