In Luke 1:51, the dative singular form occurs in the clause that the APB renders “He has shown strength with his arm,” followed by scattering the arrogant. In Acts 13:17, the genitive singular form stands in the clause rendered “with an uplifted arm led them out,” while John 12:38 uses the nominative singular form in the question, “to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “arm” in all three verses, with “strength with his arm,” “with an uplifted arm,” and “the arm of the Lord.” These phrases confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish finer distinctions.
