Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ἀπέρχομαι; future ἀπελεύσομαι (Mat 25:46; Rom 15:28; Winer’s Grammar, 86 (82)); 2 aorist ἀπῆλθον (ἀπῆλθα in Rev 10:9 (where R G Tr ἀπῆλθον), ἀπῆλθαν L T Tr WH in Mat 22:22; Rev 21:1; Rev 21:4 ((but here WH text only), etc., and WH in Luk 24:24); cf. Winers Grammar, § 13, 1; Mullach, p. 17f. (226); Buttmann, 39 (34); (Sophocles Lexicon, p. 38; Tdf. Proleg., p. 123; WHs Appendix, p. 164f; Kuenen and Cobet, N. T., p. lxiv.; Scrivener, Introduction, p. 562; Collation, etc., p. liv. following )); perfect ἀπεληλυθα (Jas 1:24); pluperfect ἀπεληλύθειν (Joh 4:8); (from Homer down); to go away (from a place), to depart;

1. properly,

a. absolutely: Mat 13:25; Mat 19:22; Mar 5:20; Luk 8:39; Luk 17:23; Joh 16:7, etc. Participle ἀπελθών with indicative or subjunctive of other verbs in past time to go (away) and etc.: Mat 13:28; Mat 13:46; Mat 18:30; Mat 25:18; Mat 25:25; Mat 26:36; Mat 27:5; Mar 6:27 (), ; Luk 5:14.

b. with specification of the place into which, or of the person to whom or from whom one departs: εἰς with the accusative of place, Mat 5:30 L T Tr WH; ; Mar 6:36; Mar 9:43; Joh 4:8; Rom 15:28, etc.; εἰς ὁδόν ἐθνῶν, Mat 10:5; εἰς τό πέραν, Mat 8:18; Mar 8:13; (δἰ ὑμῶν ... εἰς Μακεδονίαν, 2Co 1:16, Lachmann text); ἐπί with the accusative of place, Luke (Luk 23:33 R G T); ; ἐπί with the accusative of the business which one goes to attend to: ἐπί (the true reading for R G εἰς) τήν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ, Mat 22:5; ἐκεῖ, Mat 2:22; ἔξω with the genitive, Act 4:15; πρός τινα, Mat 14:25 (Rec.); Rev 10:9; ἀπό τίνος, Luk 1:38; Luk 8:37. Hebraistically (cf. àÇçÂøÅé äÈìÇê) ἀπέρχεσθαι ὀπίσω τίνος, to go away in order to follow anyone, go after him figuratively, i. e. to follow his party, follow him as a leader: Mar 1:20; Joh 12:19; in the same sense, ἀπέρχεσθαι πρός τινα, Joh 6:68; Xenophon, an. 1, 9, 16 (29); used also of those who seek anyone for vile purposes, Jud 1:7. Lexicographers (following Suidas, ’ἀπέλθῃ. ἀντί τοῦ ἐπανελθη’) incorrectly ascribe to ἀπέρχεσθαι also the idea of returning, going back — misled by the fact that a going away is often at the same time a going back. But where this is the case, it is made evident either by the connection, as in Luk 7:24, or by some adjunct, as εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, Mat 9:7; Mar 7:30 (οἴκαδε, Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 6); πρός ἑαυτόν (Treg. πρός αὐτόν) home, Luk 24:12 (R G, but L Tr brackets T WH reject the verse); Joh 20:10 (here T Tr πρός αὐτούς, WH πρός αὐτόν (see αὑτοῦ)); εἰς τά ὀπίσω, Joh 6:66 (to return home); Joh 18:6 (to draw back, retreat).

2. tropically: of departing evils and sufferings, Mar 1:42; Luk 5:13 (ἡ λέπρα ἀπῆλθεν ἀπαὐτοῦ); Rev 9:12; Rev 11:14; of good things taken away from one, Rev 18:14 (R G); of an evanescent state of things, Rev 21:1 (Rec. παρῆλθε), 4; of a report going forth or spread εἰς, Mat 4:24 (Treg. marginal reading ἐξῆλθεν).
