STRONGS NT 1534: εἶτα

εἶτα, adverb of time, then; next; after that: Mark 8:25; Luke 8:12; John 13:5; John 19:27; John 20:27; James 1:15; with the addition of a genitive absolutely to define it more precisely, Mark 4:17; as in classic Greek, it stands in enumerations, to mark a sequence depending either on temporal succession, as Mark 4:28 (see εἶτεν); 1 Corinthians 15:5-7 (εἶτα (T ἔπειτα, so in marginal reading Tr WH) ... ἔπειτα ... ἔπειτα ... εἶτα (T ἔπειτα, so in marginal reading L Tr WH)); 1 Corinthians 15:24 (ἔπειτα ... εἶτα); 1 Timothy 2:13; or on the nature of the things enumerated, 1 Corinthians 12:28 (πρῶτον ... δεύτερον ... τρίτον ... ἔπειτα ... εἶτα for which L T Tr WH ἔπειτα); (1 Timothy 3:10); in arguments it serves to add a new reason, furthermore (German sodann): Hebrews 12:9.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While εἶτα is a Greek term, its function as a sequential marker can be compared to Hebrew terms that denote sequence or progression, such as אָז (az, Strong's Hebrew 227), which is often translated as "then" in English. However, direct one-to-one correspondence is not always present due to differences in language structure and usage.

Usage: The word εἶτα is used as an adverb in the Greek New Testament to denote a sequence of events, often translated as "then" or "next" in English. It indicates a progression or continuation in a narrative or argument.

Context: The Greek adverb εἶτα (eita) is a term used to express a sequence in time or logical order. It appears in various contexts within the New Testament, often to connect events or ideas in a narrative or discourse. The term is employed to indicate what follows in a series, whether in a temporal sense or in the unfolding of an argument.

In the New Testament, εἶτα is used to transition between events or statements, providing a sense of continuity and progression. For example, in the Gospel accounts, it is used to describe the sequence of events in Jesus' ministry or the unfolding of parables. In the epistles, it can be found in logical arguments, where it helps to build upon previous points.

Examples in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB):

Mark 4:17: "But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Then (εἶτα) others are sown among thorns."

1 Corinthians 15:5-7: "and that He appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. Then (εἶτα) He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then (εἶτα) He appeared to James, then to all the apostles."

The use of εἶτα in these passages highlights its role in marking the progression of events or ideas, providing clarity and structure to the narrative or argument.
