Hebraistically (cf. ΰΗηΒψΕι δΘμΗκ) ἀπέρχεσθαι ὀπίσω τίνος, to go away in order to follow anyone, go after him figuratively, i. e. to follow his party, follow him as a leader: Mar_1:20; Joh_12:19; in the same sense, ἀπέρχεσθαι πρός τινα, Joh_6:68; Xenophon, an. 1, 9, 16 (29); used also of those who seek anyone for vile purposes, Jud_1:7. Lexicographers (following Suidas, 'ἀπέλθῃ. ἀντί τοῦ ἐπανελθη') incorrectly ascribe to ἀπέρχεσθαι also the idea of returning, going back misled by the fact that a going away is often at the same time a going back. But where this is the case, it is made evident either by the connection, as in Luk_7:24, or by some adjunct, as εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, Mat_9:7; Mar_7:30 (οἴκαδε, Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 6); πρός ἑαυτόν (Treg. πρός αὐτόν) home, Luk_24:12 (R G, but L Tr brackets T WH reject the verse); Joh_20:10 (here T Tr πρός αὐτούς, WH πρός αὐτόν (see αὑτοῦ)); εἰς τά ὀπίσω, Joh_6:66 (to return home); Joh_18:6 (to draw back, retreat). 2. tropically: of departing evils and sufferings, Mar_1:42; Luk_5:13 (ἡ λέπρα ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ); Rev_9:12; Rev_11:14; of good things taken away from one, Rev_18:14 (R G); of an evanescent state of things, Rev_21:1 (Rec. παρῆλθε), 4; of a report going forth or spread εἰς, Mat_4:24 (Treg. marginal reading ἐξῆλθεν).

ἀπ -έρχομαι , [in LXX chiefly for H1980 ;] 1. to go away, depart (also, in late writers, with "perfective" force, to arrive at a destination, the thought being carried on to the goal; M , Pr., 111 L, 247; MM , s.v. ); (a) absol. : Mat_13:25 , al. ; ptcp ., ἀπελθών , used pleonastically with other verbs as in Heb .

ἀπέρχομαι [page 57] ἀπέρχομαι occurs in a special sense in the affectionate letter of Philonides to his father the architect Cleon, P Petr II. 13 (19) .7 (middle of iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski .2 , p. 19), ζῶντός σου καὶ εἰς θεοὺς ἀπελθόντος . So, much later, in the beautiful simplicity of a Christian epitaph, Preisigke 1190 : Ταήσαι ἐβίωσεν εἴκουσι ὀκτώ , γ (ίνονται ) (ἔτη ) κ̄η̄· Εἰς λαμπρὰν ( sc. γῆν ) ἀπῆλθεν a striking contrast to the monotonous ἄωρε χαῖρε on the pagan tombs of the young. For the ordinary use of the word, it is sufficient to cite P Par 32 .5 ff. (B.C. 162) γινώσκετε , ἀφ᾽ οὗ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ἀπελήλυθα , μὴ ἐσχολα [κέν ]αι με . . . [ποιεῖν ὅσα ] ἐνέτειλας , BGU III. 884 ii. 13 f. (ii/iii A.D.) πρὶν οὖν ἀπέλθῃς πρὸς Χαιρήμονα , ἀνά (βαινε ) πρός με , ἵνα σοι ἀποτάξομαι . It may be noted that in later times the idea of the word goes forward to the goal (Usener, Pelagia-Legenden , p. 49). So in Pelagia , p. 7 .3 ἀπήλθαμεν ἐν τῇ μεγάλῃ ἐκκλησίᾳ , we arrived at the great church ; and much earlier in BGU III. 814 .30 (iii/A.D.) γείνωσκε ὅτι λοιποῦμαι ὅτι οὐκ ἀπῆλθ̣α ἐνγὺς τ̣οῦ ἀδελϕ̣ο̣υ̣̑ , have never come near my brother, ib. .22 ἔλεγε ὅτι ἐὰν ἀπέλθω εἰς οἶκον , πέμπω σ [οι ] πα̣ν̣τα· οὐδε̣ν̣ μ̣[ο ]ι ἐπέμψαται (= -τε ). διὰ τεί ; The ἀπό has thus done for this word what it did in early times for ἀφικνέομαι , perfectivizing the action : see Proleg. p. 111 ff. So also with ἀποβαίνω .

ἀπέρχομαι "to go away, depart from", c. gen., Hom. , attic; ἀπό or ἐκ τόπου Thuc. when used with εἰς, "departure from one" place "and arrival at" another is implied, ἀπ. ἐς Σάρδις Hdt. , etc. absol. "to depart", id=Hdt. , Thuc. , etc.: "to depart from life", Anth.
