Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 1564: ἐκεῖθεν

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).

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from ἐκεῖ (ekei), meaning "there."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "from there" in Hebrew is often expressed with the word מִשָּׁם (misham), Strong's Hebrew entry 8033, which similarly denotes movement or origin from a specific location.

Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to indicate movement or action originating from a specific location. It often denotes a transition or departure from one place to another.

Context: The Greek adverb ἐκεῖθεν (ekeithen) is frequently employed in the New Testament to describe the act of moving away from a particular place. It is a term that conveys the idea of origin or departure, often used in narrative contexts to indicate a change in location or the continuation of a journey.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐκεῖθεν is used in various contexts, such as in Matthew 4:21, where Jesus moves "from there" to call James and John, the sons of Zebedee, to follow Him. Similarly, in Mark 6:1, Jesus departs "from there" to His hometown, illustrating the transition from one geographical location to another.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual or conceptual departures, as seen in John 4:43, where Jesus leaves Samaria "from there" after His encounter with the Samaritan woman, signifying not just a physical departure but also the completion of a significant spiritual interaction.

The use of ἐκεῖθεν underscores the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, highlighting His movement from place to place as He spreads His teachings. It also serves to connect various narrative elements, providing a sense of continuity and progression in the Gospel accounts.
