ὅταν, a particle of time, compound of ὅτε and ἄν, at the time that, whenever (German dannwann;wannirgend); used of things which one assumes will really occur, but the time of whose occurrence he does not definitely fix (in secular authors often also of things which one assumes can occur, but whether they really will or not he does not know; hence, like our in case that, as in Plato, Prot., p. 360 b.; Phaedr., p. 256 e.; Phaedo, p. 68 d.); (cf. Winers Grammar, § 42, 5; Buttmann, § 139, 33); a. with the subjunctive present: Mat_6:2; Mat_6:5; Mat_10:23; Mar_13:11 (here Rec. aorist); ; Luk_11:36; Luk_12:11; Luk_14:12; Luk_21:7; Joh_7:27; Joh_16:21; Act_23:35; 1Co_3:4; 2Co_13:9; 1Jn_5:2; Rev_10:7; Rev_18:9; preceded by a specification of time: ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, ὅταν etc., Mat_26:29; Mar_14:25; followed by τότε, 1Th_5:3; 1Co_15:28; equivalent to as often as, of customary action, Mat_15:2; Joh_8:44; Rom_2:14; at the time when equivalent to as long as, Luk_11:34; Joh_9:5. b. with the subjunctive aorist: equivalent to the Latinquandoacciderit,ut with subjunctive present, Mat_5:11; Mat_12:43; Mat_13:32; Mat_23:15; Mat_24:32; Mark 4:15 f, 29 (R G), 31f; 13:28; Luk_6:22; Luk_6:26; Luk_8:13; Luk_11:24; Luk_12:54; Luk_21:30; Joh_2:10; Joh_10:4; Joh_16:21; 1Ti_5:11 (here L marginal reading future); Rev_9:5. equivalent toquando with future perfect, Mat_19:28; Mat_21:40; Mar_8:38; Mar_9:9; Mar_12:23 (G Tr WH omit; L brackets the clause), 25; Luk_9:26; Luk_16:4; Luk_16:9; Luk_17:10; Joh_4:25; Joh_7:31; Joh_13:19; Joh_14:29; Joh_15:26; Joh_16:4; Joh_16:13; Joh_16:21; Joh_21:18; Act_23:35; Act_24:22; Rom_11:27; 1Co_15:24 (here L T Tr WH present), (where the meaning is, 'when he shall have said that the ὑποταξις predicted in the Psalm is now accomplished'; cf.

According to the usage of later authors, a usage, however, not altogether unknown to the more elegant writers (Winers Grammar, 309 (289f); Buttmann, 222f (192f); (Tdf. Proleg., p. 124f; WHs Appendix, p. 171; for examples additional to these given by Winers Grammar, and Buttmann, as above see Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word; cf. Jebb in Vincent and Dickson's Handbook to Modern Greek, Appendix, § 78)), with the indicative; α. future: when (Mat_5:11 Tdf.); Luk_13:28 T Tr text WH marginal reading; (1Ti_5:11 L marginal reading); as often as, Rev_4:9 (cf. Bleek ad loc.). β. present: Mar_11:25 L T Tr WH; Mar_13:7 Tr text; (Luk_11:2 Tr marginal reading). γ. very rarely indeed, with the imperfect: as often as, (whensoever), ὅταν ἐθεώρουν, Mar_3:11 (Gen_38:9; Exo_17:11; 1Sa_17:34; see ἄν, II. 1). δ. As in Byzantine authors equivalent to ὅτε, when, with the indicative aorist: ὅταν ἤνοιξεν, Rev_8:1 L T Tr WH; (add ὅταν ὀψέ ἐγένετο, Mar_11:19 T Tr text WH, cf. Buttmann, 223 (193); but others take this of customary action, whenever evening came (i. e. every evening, R. V.)). ὅταν, does not occur in the Epistles of Peter and Jude.

ὅταν hotan 123x when, whenever, Mat_5:11 ; Mat_6:2 ; Mar_3:11 ; Rev_4:9 , et al. freq.; in NT in case of, on occasion of, Joh_9:5 ; 1Co_15:27 ; Heb_1:6

ὅταν (for ὅτ᾿ ἄν = ὅτε ἄν ), temporal particle, with a conditional sense, usually of things expected to occur in an indefinite future; 1. prop ., whenever; (a) c . subjc . praes.: Mat_6:2 ; Mat_6:5 , Mar_14:7 , Luk_11:36 , Joh_7:27 , Act_23:35 , 1Co_3:4 , al. ; ἕως τ . ἡμέρας ἐκείνης , ὅ , Mat_26:29 , Mar_14:25 ; seq . τότε , 1Th_5:3 ; (b) c . subjc . aor. ( M , Pr., 185) : Mat_5:11 , Mar_4:15 , Luk_6:22 , Joh_2:10 ; Joh_8:28 ( Field, Notes , 94), 104, al. 2. As in Hom . ( LS , s.v. ), but not in cl . prose, c . indic ., when ( M , Pr., 167 f .; 131., § 65, 9): c . impf ., Mar_3:11 ( cf. Gen_38:9 , al. ); c . praes., Mar_11:25 ; c . fut ., Rev_4:9 ( Swete , in l ); c . aor. , Mar_11:19 , Rev_8:1 ( Swete , in ll .; M , Pr., 168, 248; Field, Notes , 35).

ὅταν [page 462] whenever, is construed (l) c. subj. pres. in such passages as P Fay 109 .1 (early i/A.D.) ὅταν πρὸς ἀνάνκαιν ( l. ἀνάγκην ) θέλῃς παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ χρήσασθαί τι , εὐθύς σε οὐ κρατῶι , whenever you from necessity want to borrow anything from me, I at once give in to you (Edd.), P Oxy XIV. 1676 .26 (iii/A.D.) τὸ σύνφορόν σου ποίει· ὅταν γὰρ θέλῃς ήμᾶς πάντοτε ἰδεῖν , ἥδιστά σι παραδεξόμεθα , do what suits you; for when you wish to see us always, we shall receive you with the greatest pleasure (Edd.), and (2) c. subj. aor. in such passages as P Lips I. 104 .16 ( c. B.C. 96 5) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 116) ὅταν ἡμι̣ͅν̣ γ [ρ ]άψη̣ς , ἔνψυχόν τι λαμβάνω , P Ryl II. 233 .2 (ii/A.D.) ὅταν δὲ ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ ἐκβῶμεν καὶ τὸ δῶμα ἀσφαλισθήσεται ἡ διαβάθρα καγγελωτὴ ( l. καγκελλωτὴ ) καὶ τὰ προσκήνια γενήσεται , but when we reach a fortunate issue and the house is established, then a balustrade will be added to the stairway and the porch (Edd.), and P Grenf II. 73 .16 (late iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 118) καὶ ὅταν ἔλθῃ σὺν Θεῷ , μαρτυρήσι (= ει ) περὶ ὧν αὐτὴν πεποιήκασιν , and when he arrives by the help of God, he will bear you witness of what they have done to her. Of ὅταν c. ind., which occurs quinquies in the NT, we can quote P Hamb I. 70 .19 (soon after A.D. 144 5) ὅταν τὸν λόγον δίδομεν τῷ ἀφήλικι . In PSI IV. 434 .6 (B.C. 261 0) ὅταν περιοδεύω , the verb is probably in the subj., and in P Par 26 i. 14 (B.C. 162) (= Selections , p. 14) Wilcken (UPZ i. p. 247) now reads ὅτ᾽ ἀνἐβημεν for ὅταν ἐβημεν . See however P Ryl 233 ut s. , where, with reference to ἀσφαλισθήσεται , the editors remark that the writer apparently forgot that ὅταν had preceded. For ὅταν c. imperf. ( Mar_3:11 , cf. Burton § 315) we may quote the curious anti-Christian inscr. in C. and B. 343 .8 (= ii. p. 477) οὗτος ὁ βίος μοι γέγονεν (aoristic!) ὅταν ἔζων ἐγώ . In Mar_11:19 we may perhaps translate when evening fell, i.e. the evening before the πρωί of Mar_11:20 : in this way an awkward sequence is avoided, cf. Proleg , p. 248.
