Exegesis
The clause concludes with ekatheto ekei {ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ | e-ká-thē-to e-keí}, where the imperfect middle ekatheto depicts a durative or stative posture (“He was sitting”), and ekei reinforces location “there,” closing the movement sequence with a settled state.
In context — Matthew 15:29
And Jesus , having departed from there, came beside the sea of Galilee, and having gone up into the mountain, He was sitting there .
