    In Mark 14:13, the future active singular form occurs in the instruction that a man carrying a jar of water will encounter the two disciples in the city. In Luke 17:12, the aorist active plural form describes ten leprous men encountering Jesus as he enters a village; the APB renders the clauses with “will meet you” and “met him.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with forms of “meet”: “will meet you” in Mark 14:13 and “met him” in Luke 17:12. These render the clauses rather than establish separate lexical uses.
