Thayer's Greek Lexicon
τότε, demonstrative adverb of time (from the neuter article τό, and the enclitic τέ (which see); answering to the relative ὅτε (Kühner, § 506, 2 c.)), from Homer down, then; at that time;
a. then i. e. at the time when the things under consideration were taking place (of a concomitant event): Mat_2:17 (τότε ἐπληρώθη); ; Rom_6:21; followed by a more precise specification of the time by means of an added participle, Matt. ii,16; Gal_4:8; opposed to νῦν, Gal_4:29; Heb_12:26; ὁ τότε κόσμος, the world that then was, 2Pe_3:6.
b. then i. e. when the thing under consideration had been said or done, thereupon; so in the historical writers (especially Matthew), by way of transition from one thing mentioned to another which could not take place before it (Winers Grammar, 540 (503); Buttmann, § 151, 31 at the end): Mat_4:1; Mat_4:5; Mat_26:14; Mat_27:38; Act_1:12; Act_10:48; Act_21:33; not infrequently of things which took place immediately afterward, so that it is equivalent to which having been done or heard: Mat_2:7; Mat_3:15; Mat_4:10; Mat_8:26; Mat_12:45; Mat_15:28; Mat_17:19; Mat_26:36; Mat_26:45; Mat_27:26; Luk_11:26; τότε οὖν, Joh_11:14 (Lachmann brackets οὖν); ; εὐθέως τότε, Act_17:14; τότε preceded by a more definite specification of time, as μετά τό ψωμίον, Joh_13:27; or by an aorist participle Act_28:1. ὅτε ... τότε, etc., when ... then: Mat_13:26; Mat_21:1; Joh_12:16; ὡς ... τότε, etc., Joh_7:10; Joh_11:6; preceded by a genitive absolute which specifies time, Act_27:21. ἀπό τότε from that time on, see ἀπό, I. 4 b., p. 58{b} .
c. of things future; then (at length) when the thing under discussion takes place (or shall have taken place): τότε simply, Mat_24:23; Mat_24:40; Mat_25:1; Mat_25:34; Mat_25:37; Mat_25:41; Mat_25:44 f; opposed to ἄρτι, 1Co_13:12; καί τότε, Mat_7:23; Mat_16:27; Mat_24:10; Mat_24:14; Mat_24:30; Mar_13:21; Mar_13:26; Luk_21:27; 1Co_4:5; Gal_6:4; 2Th_2:8; καί τότε preceded by πρῶτον, Mat_5:24; Mat_7:5; Luk_6:42. ὅταν (with a subjunctive present) ... τότε, etc. when ... then, etc. (Winer's Grammar, § 60, 5), 2Co_12:10; 1Th_5:3; ὅταν (with an aorist subjunctive equivalent to Latin future perfect) ... τότε, etc., Mat_9:15; Mat_24:16; Mat_25:31; Mar_2:20; Mar_13:14; Luk_5:35; Luk_21:20; Joh_2:10 (T WH omit; L Tr brackets τότε); ; 1Co_15:28; 1Co_15:54; 1Co_16:2; Col_3:4. Of the N. T. writers, Matthew uses τότε most frequently, ninety-one times ((so Holtzmann, Syn. Evang., p. 293); rather, eighty-nine times according to R T, ninety times according to G L Tr WH); it is not found in (Ephesians, Philippians, Philemon, the Pastoral Epistles, the Epistles of John, James, Jude), Revelation.
