Apophero denotes taking or being taken away from one place toward another, whether people, objects, or a gift.

The attested use describes movement away or onward: people are taken to Pilate, into a deserted place, or to a high mountain; a poor man is taken by angels; cloths are taken to the sick; and a gift is sent to Jerusalem. The forms occur with both active and passive voice, while the surrounding clauses consistently depict transfer from one setting or party toward another.

   In Mark 15:1, the aorist active form occurs after Jesus is bound and before he is delivered to Pilate; the APB renders the clause “they carried him off and delivered him to Pilate.” In Revelation 17:3 and Revelation 21:10, the aorist active form introduces movement toward a deserted place and to a great, high mountain, respectively. The infinitive forms likewise occur in transfers of cloths to the sick, the poor man by angels, and a gift to Jerusalem in Acts 19:12, Luke 16:22, and 1 Corinthians 16:3.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB uses “carry your gift,” “were carried away,” “was carried away,” “carried him off,” and “carried me off/away.” These variations present the verses’ movement or transfer.
