In Luke 2:38, ἀνθωμολογεῖτο is a third-person singular imperfect middle indicative form in the clause where she comes up at that hour; the APB renders the action as beginning “to give thanks to God” and then speaking about him to those awaiting Jerusalem’s redemption.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 2:38, the APB presents the clause as “she began to give thanks to God.” This wording confirms the verse’s action without isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
