Apobaino describes leaving a vessel for land or an event’s resulting outcome.

The attested uses divide evenly between physical departure from boats and a future outcome: the aorist active forms describe people coming out, while the future middle forms occur where a situation will result in something.

Senses in use

  1. Coming out from boats · common

    In Luke 5:2, the aorist active participle occurs of fishermen who had come out from the boats before washing their nets. In John 21:9, the aorist active indicative occurs when they arrive on land; the APB renders the clause, "When they got out on land."

  2. Resulting in an outcome · common

    In Luke 21:13, the future middle form concerns events resulting in a testimony; the APB renders, "It will turn out to you as a testimony." In Philippians 1:19, the same future middle form concerns what will result for salvation, rendered by the APB as "this will turn out for my salvation."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the physical occurrences with "got out" or "gotten out," and the future occurrences with "turn out." These phrases show the clauses’ presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
