ἐπαύριον

Matthew 27:62 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

Here: An adverb (ἐπί 'upon' + αὔριον 'tomorrow') used as a noun: 'the following day'. It counts from the day of the crucifixion and burial. This is the second of the 'three days' the leaders are about to mention (v. 63).

Mark 11:12 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

John 1:29 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Here: Marks the second day in a run of days in John 1 (1:29, 35, 43; 2:1). The narrator is counting days. Yesterday John told the Jerusalem delegation about 'one among you whom you do not know' (1:26). Today that person appears.

John 1:35 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

Here: 'The day after.' This is the third time John has used this marker (1:29, 1:35, 1:43). Each use moves the story forward one day, so the opening chapter is set out as a sequence of numbered days.

John 1:43 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day Jesus decided to set out for Galilee. Finding Philip, He told him, “Follow Me.”

Here: "On the next day." This is the third time John uses this marker (1:29, 1:35, 1:43). The opening scenes move forward day by day toward the wedding at Cana "on the third day" (2:1).

John 6:22 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day, the crowd that had remained on the other side of the sea realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with His disciples, but they had gone away alone.

Here: The morning after the feeding and the night crossing (vv.16–21). John often uses this word to move a story on to the following day (1:29, 35, 43; 12:12).

John 12:12 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

Here: 'The day after.' It counts from the dinner at Bethany 'six days before the Passover' (12:1-2), so the entry falls five days before Passover. John uses this word to march through a sequence of days (1:29, 35, 43; 6:22).

Acts 10:9 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

Here: The day after Cornelius's vision (v. 3, at the ninth hour, about 3 p.m.). Luke counts days carefully in this story; Cornelius later recounts the timeline in v. 30.

Acts 10:23 ἐπαύριον next day

So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

Acts 10:24 ἐπαύριον next day

The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

Acts 14:20 ἐπαύριον next day

But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

Acts 20:7 ἐπαύριον next day

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.

Here: "The next day". Which day this was depends on whether the meeting fell on Saturday night or Sunday night (see debates). Verse 11 shows he actually left at daybreak.

Acts 21:8 ἐπαύριον next day

Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven.

Here: 'On the morrow.' It ties this stage straight onto the single day spent at Ptolemais (v. 7), so the itinerary keeps its day-by-day, diary-like pace.

Acts 22:30 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.

Here: It marks a full night's delay after Paul revealed his citizenship. The commander has had time to think about his legal exposure.

Acts 23:32 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.

Acts 25:6 ἐπαύριον next day

After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.

Acts 25:23 ἐπαύριον next day

The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
