Exegesis
The adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} ‘there’ is fronted to set the scene at the burial location, and the inferential conjunction oun {οὖν | oûn} links this verse logically to the preceding narrative about Jesus’ burial.
In context — John 19:42
Therefore, because of the day of Preparation of the Jews, since the tomb was near, they placed Jesus there.
