1: αὐτός

(Strong's #846 — pronoun — autos — ow-tos' )

denotes "the same" when preceded by the article, and either with a noun following, e.g., Mark 14:39; Philippians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 12:4 , or without, e.g., Matthew 5:46,47; Romans 2:1; Philippians 2:2; 3:1; Hebrews 1:12; 13:8 . It is thus to be distinguished from uses as a personal and a reflexive pronoun.

2: αὗται

(Strong's #3778 — pronoun — houtos — hoo'-tos, hoo'-toy, how'-tay, how'-tahee )

"this" (person or thing), or "he" (and the feminine and neuter forms), is sometimes translated "the same," e.g., John 3:2,26; 7:18; James 3:2; sometimes the RV translates it by "this" or "these," e.g., John 12:21 , "these" (AV, "the same"); 2 Corinthians 8:6 , "this" (AV, "the same").
