Exegesis
The pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | autòn} ‘him’ clearly identifies the object under surveillance—Jesus in his crucifixion—while the adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | ekeî} ‘there’ situates the scene at Golgotha. The overall structure underscores the deliberate and sustained focus of the guards during the crucifixion.
In context — Matthew 27:36
And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
