The verb marks removal in several settings: in Luke 22:50, Mark 14:47, and Matthew 26:51 the APB renders the result of a sword strike as an ear being "cut off." In Hebrews 10:4 and Romans 11:27, the clauses concern sins being taken away; in Luke 16:3 management is being taken from the manager, and Luke 10:42 says Mary's good portion will not be taken from her. Revelation 22:19 places removal both from the book's words and from a person's share.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously uses "take away," "taking the management away," and "cut off" in these verses. These expressions show the clauses' contexts rather than establishing separate lexical meanings.
