Exegesis
Jesus’ response begins with the relative adverb hopou {Ὅπου | hó-pou} “wherever,” setting a general locative condition, followed by the nominative subject to sōma {τὸ σῶμα | tò sō-ma} “the body.”
The adverb ekeî {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} “there” indicates the corresponding location, and the future passive episynachthēsontai {ἐπισυναχθήσονται | e-pi-su-nach-thē-son-tai} “‘will be gathered’” describes the inevitable result with hoi aetoì {οἱ ἀετοὶ | hoi ae-toí} “the eagles” as the semantic agents, evoking carrion-bird imagery to underscore the concept of judgment.
In context — Luke 17:37
And having answered, they said to Him, “Where, Lord ?” But He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the eagles will be gathered.”
