1. Departing to a place away · dominant

   In Luke 15:13, the aorist active indicative occurs as the younger son leaves and the APB renders the verse’s journey as going to “a distant country.” In Luke 20:9, Mark 12:1, and Matthew 21:33, it follows the leasing of a vineyard to farmers; in Matthew 25:14 and Matthew 25:15, the departure frames a man’s delivery of property to his slaves.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB regularly presents the departure with “went abroad” or “going abroad”; in Luke 15:13 it instead renders the verse’s movement as a journey to “a distant country.” These renderings indicate the clause’s presentation rather than a separate lexical distinction.
