   In Matthew 5:41, the future active form occurs in the condition of someone compelling another to go one mile. In Matthew 27:32 and Mark 15:21, active indicative forms describe Simon being compelled in connection with carrying a cross; the APB renders the clauses "this man they compelled to carry his cross" and "they compel a certain passer-by."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "compels" in Matthew 5:41 and "compelled" in Matthew 27:32, while Mark 15:21 renders the clause "they compel a certain passer-by." These renderings confirm the clauses' coercive action without isolating every word-level detail.
