Senses in use
-
Getting up, standing, or setting out · dominant
Aorist active participles regularly introduce a following action: in Acts 10:20 the APB renders the clause “arise, go down, and go with them,” and in Acts 14:20 the person who rose entered the city. The same use frames public speech in Acts 15:7 and bodily movement in Acts 5:6; a second-person aorist active form in Acts 12:7 occurs in the instruction “Get up quickly.”
-
Rising from the dead · common
The term marks a person's return from death where the clause explicitly speaks of the dead: in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 the APB renders that Jesus “died and rose,” while 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says that “the dead in Christ will rise first.” John 11:24 and John 20:9 likewise place the future or infinitive form in resurrection and “from the dead” contexts.
-
Causing another to arise · occasional
Active forms can place a subject as the one causing another to arise. In Acts 2:24 the APB renders God’s action as “raised him up” in a clause about death; Acts 3:22 speaks of God raising a prophet, and John 6:40 has the speaker say, “I will raise him up on the last day.”
-
Emerging or coming forward · occasional
Some clauses present a person or group as arising into prominence rather than simply standing from a position. Acts 7:18 says that a new king arose over Egypt, Acts 20:30 anticipates men who “will arise speaking twisted things,” and Hebrews 7:15 refers to another priest who arises.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB presents the relevant clauses with “rose,” “arise,” “stand up,” “raised up,” and occasionally “appeared.” These variations describe the clauses’ presentation rather than fixed English equivalents for each form.
