Exegesis
The future indicative erousin {ἐροῦσιν | e-roû-sin} frames a report directed hymin {ὑμῖν | hy-mîn}, while idou {ἰδοὺ | i-doù} functions as an alert particle followed by the deictic adverbs ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} and hode {ὧδε | hô-de} to simulate emphatic location calls.
In context — Luke 17:23
And they will say to you, “Behold, there; behold, here.” Do not go out , nor pursue them .
