Thayer's Greek Lexicon

τότε, demonstrative adverb of time (from the neuter article τό, and the enclitic τέ (which see); answering to the relative ὅτε (Kühner, § 506, 2 c.)), from Homer down, then; at that time;

a. then i. e. at the time when the things under consideration were taking place (of a concomitant event): Mat 2:17 (τότε ἐπληρώθη); ; Rom 6:21; followed by a more precise specification of the time by means of an added participle, Matt. ii,16; Gal 4:8; opposed to νῦν, Gal 4:29; Heb 12:26; ὁ τότε κόσμος, the world that then was, 2Pe 3:6.

b. then i. e. when the thing under consideration had been said or done, thereupon; so in the historical writers (especially Matthew), by way of transition from one thing mentioned to another which could not take place before it (Winers Grammar, 540 (503); Buttmann, § 151, 31 at the end): Mat 4:1; Mat 4:5; Mat 26:14; Mat 27:38; Act 1:12; Act 10:48; Act 21:33; not infrequently of things which took place immediately afterward, so that it is equivalent to which having been done or heard: Mat 2:7; Mat 3:15; Mat 4:10; Mat 8:26; Mat 12:45; Mat 15:28; Mat 17:19; Mat 26:36; Mat 26:45; Mat 27:26; Luk 11:26; τότε οὖν, Joh 11:14 (Lachmann brackets οὖν); ; εὐθέως τότε, Act 17:14; τότε preceded by a more definite specification of time, as μετά τό ψωμίον, Joh 13:27; or by an aorist participle Act 28:1. ὅτε ... τότε, etc., when ... then: Mat 13:26; Mat 21:1; Joh 12:16; ὡς ... τότε, etc., Joh 7:10; Joh 11:6; preceded by a genitive absolute which specifies time, Act 27:21. ἀπό τότε from that time on, see ἀπό, I. 4 b., p. 58{b}.

c. of things future; then (at length) when the thing under discussion takes place (or shall have taken place): τότε simply, Mat 24:23; Mat 24:40; Mat 25:1; Mat 25:34; Mat 25:37; Mat 25:41; Mat 25:44 f; opposed to ἄρτι, 1Co 13:12; καί τότε, Mat 7:23; Mat 16:27; Mat 24:10; Mat 24:14; Mat 24:30; Mar 13:21; Mar 13:26; Luk 21:27; 1Co 4:5; Gal 6:4; 2Th 2:8; καί τότε preceded by πρῶτον, Mat 5:24; Mat 7:5; Luk 6:42. ὅταν (with a subjunctive present) ... τότε, etc. when ... then, etc. (Winer’s Grammar, § 60, 5), 2Co 12:10; 1Th 5:3; ὅταν (with an aorist subjunctive equivalent to Latin future perfect) ... τότε, etc., Mat 9:15; Mat 24:16; Mat 25:31; Mar 2:20; Mar 13:14; Luk 5:35; Luk 21:20; Joh 2:10 (T WH omit; L Tr brackets τότε); ; 1Co 15:28; 1Co 15:54; 1Co 16:2; Col 3:4. Of the N. T. writers, Matthew uses τότε most frequently, ninety-one times ((so Holtzmann, Syn. Evang., p. 293); rather, eighty-nine times according to R T, ninety times according to G L Tr WH); it is not found in (Ephesians, Philippians, Philemon, the Pastoral Epistles, the Epistles of John, James, Jude), Revelation.
