And from there, and thence — a connective adverb joining narrative stages by marking departure from a prior location
The adverb κἀκεῖθεν (kakeithen), a crasis of καί + ἐκεῖθεν ('and from there'), functions as a narrative transition marker indicating movement from one place to the next. It stitches together itinerary sequences in Acts and the Gospels: Jesus departs 'from there' in his Galilean travels (Mark 9:30; 10:1), Abraham moves 'from there' in Stephen's speech (Acts 7:4), and Paul's missionary journeys proceed 'from there' through Asia Minor and Greece (Acts 13:21; 14:26; 16:12; 20:15; 21:1; 27:4; 28:15). Spanish 'y de allí,' Arabic وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ, Hindi 'वहाँ से,' and Korean '거기서' all render the compound adverb straightforwardly.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A connective adverb meaning 'and from there / and thence,' used to advance narrative by marking departure from a previously mentioned location. It chains itinerary segments in the Gospels — Jesus moving through Galilee (Mark 9:30; 10:1) — and especially in Acts for Paul's missionary routes through cities of Asia Minor and Greece (Acts 14:26; 16:12; 20:15; 21:1; 27:4; 28:15). Stephen uses it of Abraham's migration from Haran (Acts 7:4). The term is purely transitional and carries no semantic weight beyond spatial departure and narrative continuation. 10×
