In Galatians 1:17 and Galatians 1:18, the 1st-person aorist active indicative form occurs in statements about going to Jerusalem, first denying such a journey and then reporting one after three years. In John 6:3, the 3rd-person aorist active indicative form describes Jesus’ movement up the mountain before he sat with his disciples.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “go up” or “went up” in all three verses, for journeys to Jerusalem and for Jesus’ ascent of a mountain. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall movement rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
